Tuesday February 20, 11:29 am ET

NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Apple, Inc. CEO Steve Jobs and Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates, the seminal figures in the development of the personal computer, will make a rare joint appearance at The Wall Street Journal's ``D: All Things Digital'' conference this year. The two men will jointly discuss the history and future of the digital revolution in an unrehearsed, unscripted, onstage conversation on May 30 with D co-producers Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher.

Both executives have made multiple individual appearances at the conference, which will celebrate its fifth anniversary this year, and is known as D5. But this will be their first joint session at D, and a highly unusual event.

I am extremely sorry for a little bit of misinformation. This conference hasn't happened yet. It is supposed to take place on May 30, 2007 - that is, today.

I don't know what the photograph in the previous post is about. Does not look Photoshopped to me. I am confused.


BTW, this conference is actually not going to happen in peace or anything. This is an all out cold war. Questions will be pitched forth to both Jobs and Gates and they will have to defend their companies. I bet this is gonna be interesting stuff. Stay tuned, I'll bring the report on it later.
