Despite the fierce rivalry that obviously exists between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, it’s obviously not about the money, and it looks like despite everything that when they finally do retire, they may actually become good friends.

What most people don’t remember is that 10 years ago, Microsoft bailed out the ailing Apple when Steve Jobs just came  back to revitalize the ailing company, imagine that, 150 million USD and Steve Jobs joining the board of Apple precisely 10 years ago. The timing of this move demonstrates to me that there is both tactics and a wider mutual relationship and respect between the two parties that perhaps the world will never truly get to see.

Yes, they are competitors, but they are friends too. I am sure of it.
