The Entire D6 Interview With Microsoft's Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer (6 of 6)

We’re posting all the interviews from the sixth D: All Things Digital conference that took place in late May.

Unfortunately, due to issues too complicated to go into, we have to post all the D6 interviews in several 15-minute parts (I know, I know).

But–as many readers have requested–they will all be available in their entirety over the next few weeks in this column.

Here’s Part 6 of 6 of our discussion with Microsoft (MSFT) Co-Founder Bill Gates and CEO Steve Ballmer, who were interviewed together by Walt Mossberg and me on the conference’s opening night.

(I posted one video part of the Gates/Ballmer interview every day this week, starting Monday.)

In this video, Gates and Ballmer answer questions from the audience about the Yahoo (YHOO) deal, widgets, Facebook and healthcare.
