Gates and Jobs on the D conference
It was the first appearance of Bill Gates and Steve together at the same conference. This was probably one of not many iconic moments of technology, as the two most prominent pioneers of technology gave their thoughts to our public ears. While both congratulated each other on technology, Bill and Steve did not agree on the hardware and software coupling future. Not to say this is surprising at all, as Macintosh was always about manufacturing their hard to their soft as a "uniproduct", while Microsoft was always made to run on as many hardware component variations as possible. Check out a nice article on Forbes for detailed quotations and more information.
What’s interesting, what’s hard to remember now is that Microsoft wasn’t in the applications business then. They took a big bet on the Mac because this is how they got into the apps business. Lotus dominated the apps business on the PC back then.

I hate that my Government grants don't cover the cost of coal scuttle; especially now, seeing that I may need to purchase a weight loss body wrap and read up some more weight loss info
