Bill Gates has spoken of his relationship with "incredible genius" Steve Jobs, dedicating a Beatles track to the late Apple founder during an appearance on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.
Paying tribute to the Apple co-founder's "singular" part in the story of the personal computer, and admitting his envy of Jobs's "incredible design skills", Gates recalls the formative stages of their work together.
Introduced on the show as the richest man in the world, Gates revealed the eight songs that mean the most to him, interspersed with conversations about his childhood, his parents, this relationship with his wife and children and his co-founding of Microsoft alongside Paul Allen.
Elsewhere Gates chose two songs that reminded him of his wife - Blue Skies by Willie Nelson, which he arranged for the country singer to perform to her on the night before their wedding - and Rodgers and Hammerstein's How Can Love Survive?
