The Wall-Street Journal “All Things Digital” conference is going on, and as part of it the great Steve Jobs and Bill Gates sat down for an unscripted interview.

The dev/design world is so polarized right now between Apple and Microsoft fanboys that it is interesting when the kings of both worlds come together and you learn that they have tremendous respect for each other. Now, if the “Pirates of Silicon Valley” has it right, there is a lot of water under that bridge, but they hide it well. Each of them have contributed in so many ways that it is just impossible not to have respect for both of them for very different reasons.

It is very apparent from these videos that Steve is the charismatic one, and Bill is the nerd…but as I learned in high school…it takes all kinds.

The videos are pretty long, but they are really interesting, so if you have some time, take a look.
