Este encuentro quizas será uno de los últimos de Bill Gates como representante de Microsoft, Se sabe que el Sr. Bill deja microsoft en el junio del  2008, para dedicarse a su carrera filantropica en su fundacion de ayuda alos países pobres del mundo, y dedica gran parte de su tiempo a trabajar en la Fundación de Bill y Melinda Gates.

Recientemente, Gates consiguió persuadir al multimillonario inversionista Warren Buffett a manejar la mayor parte de su inmenso patrimonio económico a la fundación,  

Dicho encuentro ha sido declarado histórico, por lo que  se produce en un momento en que ambos rivales han adoptado rumbos bastante distintos, y donde ambas compañías enfrentan grandes desafíos, y con el nuevo reto de afrontar a grandes empresas tecnológicas de esta reciente década.

Desde 1983, ambos coincidieron en un escenario, y desde entonces y actualmente líderes en la industria tecnológica, Bill Gates (Presidente de Microsoft) y Steve Jobs(CEO de Apple Inc.) ya han habido ocasiones donde se les ve juntos desde ya hace varios años…

In this scene from Pirates of Silicon Valley, the ersatz Gates scowls at Jobs. Shortly after the movie’s premiere, the introductory remarks at the 1999 Macworld conference were made by Wyle, in a reprise of his movie role. The real Jobs then appeared and wowed the crowd with the wireless iBook.

Things weren’t so jovial in this February 2007 encounter between Gates and Jobs in the SuperNews section of Current TV, a Web site focused on viewer-created content. The video from which this image comes is in part a spoof of the ongoing Mac-versus-PC ads that have become a staple of TV and the Web.

In the Current TV cartoon, the Jobs character taunts his counterpart in the spirit of the Mac-versus-PC ads: “I’m cool and you’re a pathetic old man.” Gates later ripostes by reminding Jobs that Windows now runs on Apple computers.

A high point of the Current TV cartoon is a Star Wars-inspired duel between the computer industry icons. When Gates pulls out “my new Zune saber,” Jobs counters with an iPhone-powered light saber.

Also in February, these disembodied heads appeared together on a poster at an employment fair in Beijing.
