This is the poorest interview I've ever read. Why did/. even agree to post it? It looks like it was held by a grade 8 student. It seems the interviewer went into the interview with qualms, and no matter what Bill said he was going to spew them.
I'm not a big supporter of MS, but if the interviewer had of visited http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.a sp and/or http://office.microsoft.com/ he would have likely found the free bug fixes he desired.
MS releases bug fixes at the above URLs (it's automated, similar concept to apt-get), and also has patches/updates/bug fixes on their site for free.
Bill Gates was saying they only release new versions of software as to add new features. The interviewer couldn't seem to get out of his head silly preconceived ideas (which in my opinion are wrong).
