An entertaining
piece from Bill RobinsĀ over at News.com
:

"Bill Gates and Steve Mills, who runs IBM's software business, demonstrated progress
on Web services standards. For the first time in 12 years (gasp!), Gates
shared a stage with an IBM executive
. He also shared the stage with a Linux box.
What was so exciting that these two powerful men and the world's hippest operating
system got on stage together? They ran a demo."
