Bill Gates Interview w/ Spiegel

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the straight-up-answers dept.

DaVinciXL writes "Bill Gates just gave the German magazine "Spiegel" an interview which can be read (in English) on the magazine's website. Gates speaks about issues of computer security, competition, software bundling and how he lives with the downsides of his wealth and fame." He does a pretty good job of answering a lot of hard questions.

    Ever seen that Fahrenheit 451 movie that looks like Sprockets? I'm guessing it was made in Germany. Just imagine Bill Gates doing the sprocket dance. heh.

    Mod him a MS mouthpiece. Post after post in his history is defending MS. I use windows (gaming), and can defend (some) of its merits, but this guy smells like astroturf.

    I agree, but I've learnt to hate him.... Since 2002, when i got this computer, ive re-installed windows 7-8 times. Then i went to gentoo, mounted my (broken) windows partition on /mnt/crap, and did sudo rm -rf /mnt/crap/*... The only reasons i can see Windows is still around is because mac needs more expencive hardware, lack of games for linux, and most ppl 2 n00bish to partition their drives and install linux, so they use windows couse its already there... (acualy, i know 2 M$ lovers who converted to linux overnight with mepis)

    Is there anything else out there that compares to Microsoft PowerPoint? It is a phenomenal program and I can't find an equivalent competitor. The features in the "Custom Animation" are amazing.

    Another quote:
    Gates: The bandwidth of problems is enormous.

    One thing that bugs me is using technical terms to describe completely non-technical things.

    How exactly do problems have bandwidth?
    You can have a plethora/lot/abundance of problems, and you can have bandwidth problems.
    But I'm not sure how you get bandwidth of problems.

    "Get over here Bob! We've got at least 10Hz of problems!"
    "No can do, Jack. I've got 6000bps of angry customers I'm dealing with over here."
