Here are some photos and cartoons of Bill Gates met Steve Jobs.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates are scheduled to share the stage next Wednesday night at The Wall Street Journal's D: All Things Digital conference.
Here's a look back at some other times the two titans of tech have done a joint bill.
The two were together on the cover of Fortune Magazine in August 1991, as seen here in a copy on display in the Microsoft Visitor Center museum.
Jobs and Gates have appeared at The Wall Street Journal's past "D" conferences. Here they are yucking it up over the main course at a D dinner in 2005.
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.
