Bill Gates recalls rivalry with 'genius' Steve Jobs on Desert Island Discs

Microsoft co-founder chooses the Beatles track Two of Us in memory of Apple boss and talks about his charity work and how he met his wife

Bill Gates speaks about his relationship with the late Apple founder Steve Jobs and chooses a song in memory of their work together shaping the technology of the modern age, in an appearance on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs on Sunday.

Describing Jobs, who died in 2011, as an "incredible genius", Gates, 60, chooses as one of his allotted eight favourite tracks the Beatles's Two of Us, for its apposite line: "You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.".
