    This interview feels like it was recorded on two separate time lines! 2020 for Bill Gates and 1980 for the interviewer.

    These interviews are so interesting to see what a genius was thinking about before the last 28 years of technical innovations. This woman's questions were a bit general but she seems to be quite intelligent. However she has no vision for the future whereas Bill Gates is living it. Too bad that Microsoft never has a service for video such as UA-cam. All of Gates responses were very eloquent and extremely quick. His poise and communication skills at the age of 36 is highly impressive.

    Bill gates is a true genius. He speaks about his product with passion and knows what he's talking about. As for me, I don't want to be considered a genius, I simply want to dish the idea, pay engineers, marketers, then take the credit. If a interviewer asks a tough question I have little-to-no knowledge about, I'll simply dance around the question. It does not matter who is a true genius or not, it only matters if you take the credit and make profit from the product.

    6:28 Windows For Workgroups lol! Gates original notion of your own Personal Computer never really anticipated the Internet. Some visionary he was! Networking in Windows was always a dreadful bolt-on hack. Meanwhile UNIX, a proper, industrial-grade, networking OS continued to quietly evolve and ends up running most the world's web servers and smartphones in one form or another. Windows OS in all its incarnations has been an irritating nuisance for desktop users and in 2020 Windows 10 is almost unbearable with it's constant unwanted updates. DOS/Windows was/is a "toy" operating system that should have been strangled at birth. Microsoft's browsers, from day one, have been AWFUL, most people hate using them and are loathed by web developers for being non-standard. In short, Microsoft is a shitshow, on top of which it's given one man so much wealth he believes it's his destiny to fix the world with his vaccines, which he tests on Third World populations.
