Bill and Steve's excellent adventure
The two most important people in the world (well, we think so) are to have a public discussion for the first time ever next week.
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are scheduled to appear together at The Wall Street Journal's D5 conference next Wednesday 30 May, in San Diego.
We like to think it'll start like this: "Hi, I'm a Mac." "And I'm a PC."
The 75-minute joint interview will be the first time the two industry icons have ever had a public conversation. They do seem to enjoy each other's company in private, however. The following pictures, taken at the D3 Conference in 2005, show them having a jolly old time.
Whatever could the chair of Microsoft and the chief executive of Apple be talking about? Post your captions in the comments -- the best will win a spiffing prize from Belkin.
Post your captions in the comments before Steve and Bill's big interview on 30 May, and be in to win a Belkin SportCommand for iPod worth $79.

I don't think Steve would see much humour in a merger with MS, it would cramp his style too much.

Bill: I hear you've got this new guy out there pushing your products.
Steve: Yeah, his name is winmacguy and he has reduced our advertising budget to this much.
Bill: Where do you find these fanboys?
Steve: Yeah I know. And we don't even pay him!!

A merger, perhaps? Microsoft's always trying to buy up the competition, and as Apple have done extremely well in recent years, it could be just that. Of course, Jobs wouldn't be smiling then, would he...or would he?
