One of the few journalists to interview the pair together, Walter Mossberg, describes their relationship as a partnership, but one wrought with conflict and rivalry.
In the documentary Mossberg say Jobs believed "Microsoft had stolen their basic ideas in the Mac.” On the other hand, Mossberg stated Gates felt that Jobs got more credit than he deserved as a great technologist.
The documentary, titled Steve Jobs: One Last Thing, can be viewed in its entirety online or purchased as a DVD through PBS’s website.
