Bill Gates Brags About Vista, Reacts to Apple's Latest Ads

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday February 2, 2007 @08:14AM from the oh-bill dept.

fr8_liner writes "In an unusually candid interview with Newsweek Bill Gates lays it all on the line, bragging about the benefits of Vista, ragging on Apple for their 'I'm a Mac' ads, and claiming primacy in a number of features shared by Vista and OSX. Specifically, it is Mr. Gates' opinion that the Apple adverts are misleading if not untruthful. He makes the claim that 'security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine.' The interview also touches on the future of Microsoft and Operating systems, and some of the company's plans for internet-based computing."

Does anyone else think that a name that could be pronounced the same as "the mafia" for 2 companies that have mafia-like tactics might have been a bad idea?
