I was reading this article today, and realized one of two things will happen when Steve Jobs of Apple and Bill Gates of Microsoft take the stage.
In scenario one (and this is the more likely scenario), we’ll see Jobs and Gates be quite cordial, speaking to the merits of each other’s products and their shared importance in the workplace. We’ll hear lots of technology buzzwords, along with some heavy marketing-speak. This will bore everyone and won’t make the front page of most news outlets’ offerings.
Scenario two would feature these two powerful executives involved in the most epic nerd fight in recorded history. Lots of passive-aggressive comments about the opposing company’s products, a few key interruptions, and if we’re lucky enough, some sort of slap fight / lightsaber duel. Cross your fingers, folks.
