  • i hate microsoft for what it has become gates is definatly not microsoft. the people who come after him who suck bill perfected windows with XP everything after was simply to keep the money coming in.

  • Comment removed

  • What a fucked up interview is that?

  • Bill Gates & Paul Allen of Microsoft are what Steve Jobs & Steve Wozniak are to to the Apple brands they were all essential to the simplification and utilization of the greatest invention the world has ever seen!!

  • lol bill cannot act natural. he was born nerd

  • @richardizzle1 not funnny

  • @richardizzle1 he kept scratching his head lol

  • who ever the interviewer is needs to learn how to speak clearly and ask good questions

  • old bill looks like a rather tired man after all that has happened. He looks more like a retired college professor than one of the most powerful men in the world.

  • bill gates is bossed up

  • Bill looks really tired after the interview. He just plunks down onto his chair and takes a sip from his coke. I wonder how many cans of coke he drinks a day.

  • ghost busters , who brought the dog??! ...

  • Contrary to popular belief, the omnipresent Windows operating system does not owe its existence to Bill Gates, Paul Allen or the development team at Microsoft.

    The man responsible for giving us Windows was actually a marketing expert called Rowland Hanson.

  • @luc59457 Are Ya high? Rowland convinced them to go with the name "Windows" as opposed to "Interface Manager" he did not develop "Windows" except he helped market it by helping them choose a more appealing name for their product, That's why he was there, to help them market "their" products, not to create them. This is common knowledge.

  • @Myflesh101 What was meant by brought into existence was that he made it take off.. The history of Windows dates back to September 1981, when Chase Bishop, a computer scientist, designed the first model of an electronic device and project "Interface Manager" was started.

  • @Myflesh101 What was meant by brought into existence was that he made it take off.. The history of Windows dates back to September 1981, when Chase Bishop, a computer scientist, designed the first model of an electronic device and project "Interface Manager" was started.

  • @luc59457 Yeah Chase had more to do with it's existence than helping choose a name like what Rowland did, but to imply that Bill Gates wasn't responsible for the "existence" of windows is well, come on, really? It's good to give credit to the rest of the team though. Just like it's the crew of writers, techs & actors who make up the "existence" of a movie, but lets not leave out the director;)

  • @Myflesh101 The problem is what you just stated:It's good to give credit to the rest of the team though. The rest of the team has had more than enough credit and exposure over the years (especially Bill Gates). The names I have mentioned are less known to people than the names I did not mention. The names I mentioned played tremendous roles in the existence of windows. Rowand did more than choose a name, he marketed it. Chase had more to do with its existence than all of them, he came first.

  • @luc59457 By rest of the team I meant Chase Bishop & Rowland Hanson, awesome to give them the credit they deserve! But exclusive credit, what, Bill Gates and Paul Allen didn't do anything, they just watched the company be built by everyone else and became rich? Bill Gates and Paul Allen are brilliant, creative, revolutionary, visionary Men.

  • @Myflesh101I agree, most of us already know that

  • OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL­OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • I found myself daydreaming during this about what it would be like to have 40 billion dollars (or however much he's got). I don't think I'd ever leave my mansion full of high class hookers.

  • @xxxIronLeexxx You'll never get to have 40 billion dollars if you want them to get hookers. I, at least, find the thought quite distracting and disabling me to produce a dominant OS.

  • @mmasny I meant after I made the 40B, somewhere around the windows XP era.

  • This interviewed should be punched in the face. You dont ever ever talk shit to Bill Gates.

  • agreed lol i mean common dude he's really rich lol so he's a smart buisness man lol plus he's invested stock into many other buisness so people who say macs are better and buy them you only make microsoft company better :P

  • I like him. Talking about cars bores me. *grin*.

  • This interviewer is seriously the biggest douche. Bill Gates is the man, what i would give to just have an ice cream with him and chat about the weather. no homo...

  • these have got to be the worst questions ever! this guy sucks.

  • What? Everyone who saw that video wanted to talk about the Ford Focus! ;)

  • Well so much for investigative journalism. :p

  • LOL

  • Comment removed

  • Does this interviewer get paid? Oh my lord, the inequity. There are would be journalists starving in America.

  • 11:05, Mr. gates deep down inside really wants to punch his interviewer for such stupid questions and statement.

  • gates is a really cool man

  • these are really bad questions. Fail

  • did he say "chief nerd"??? whats wrong with this guy..... he is interviewing Bill Gates for heavens sake........ wake up and ask real questions....

  • This guy gets 20mins with bill gates and he asks these questions! :-P

  • why can yanks never finish sentances?

  • If i was Bill Gates i would have punched that fucking asshole in the face for calling me a geek or a nerd bill didnt have to give him an interview but out of the goodness of Mr. Gates's heart he stopped to talk to him this is No way to talk to some body in No type of level it does not matter if you are the President of USA or President of Microsoft this way so unfair to Mr. Gates

  • bill looks irritated why does everyone hownd him everywhere he goes.

  • bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This man will never get senile.

  • You are awesome for getting this footage and showing us. I appreciate any insight into this man's mind.

  • grt job .

  • Zzzzzz....

  • You know, it's kind of fuck..fun, funny.

  • did he accidently say F*** at 1:37

  • no lol he stuttered saying the word fun, if he said fuck it wouldnt make sense.

  • no lol he stuttered saying the word fun, if he said fuck it wouldnt make sense.

  • "Microsoft had this honeymoon period kinda like Google has today"! Don't say that Bill!!! LOL! Do something about Live Search and work on that layout for Live Mail! I'm sure u will get all the attention too! I mainly don't use Windows Live Mail because of the flashing advertisements and heavy interface. Give me something like Gmail and I will switch! Text ads please and a milder color scheme would help!

  • i dont understand why they tried to make windows vista similar to apple's software i mean comon there is a reason why we dont buy apple in the first place.besides windows xp works great. sadly my laptop mest up and had to get a bran new one....with windows vista ahhhhhh i hate this shit! it gives me so many problems.

  • I would think Leopard copies Vista. Look at the "innovative" transparent menu bar and reflective dock. Vista has a transparent taskbar. Gadgets are much better than widgets.

  • It;s true! Everything new in OSX is nothing but a prettier version of what was shown in Vista years before it!

  • how are gadgets better than widgets? there are very few gadgets available and the ones there are suck. Apple provides dashcode which makes creating widgets easy and there are loads of great ones available. And where is vistas reflective dock :)

  • I don't care what anyone says . Bill Gates will always be a hero to me. He is a great man with great vision. Sadly I cannot say the same for Steve jobs who happens to be an arrogant prick..Say what you want about Vista and the Xbox but i'd blame Microsoft's shitty programmers and terrible engineers for that. Bill Gates basically rolled out the carpet for everything electronic we have today, comment me down linux fans I wont care.

  • i agree that the problem at Microsoft for years has been "the shitty programmers and terrible engineers", but bill had the money and several opportunities to change that.

    yes steve is arrogant, but that gets things done and look at everything he has achieved. his company's software is worrying Microsoft. unimaginable even 5 years ago

  • TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU MAN! But, what you said about Steve Jobs isn't entirely true. His arrogance has given us some amazing products. Again, I am not saying that I am an Apple or Windows fan.I like both equally. Both have their pluses and minuses. Microsoft needs to be able to work on its innovative abilities and push it a little harder.They seem to put more effort into development and programming than usability and others such as security and visual appeal.I still appreciate it a lot! Love it!

  • @ronaldmonster You tell good things, except you clearly haven't even used vista, because you seem to think it's bad when it is good.

  • Wow bad speakers he is so nervous.

  • Vista sp1 disabled my internet explorer ,I had to restore to vista original > Sp1 is a pain in the ass

  • mee too its all fucked up i just had my laptop for like less than a month

  • Microsoft is slowly in decline, people are becoming more computer literate and are looking for alternatives such a linux, so Microsoft will have to really step up if they want to carry on monopolising in the future.

  • i could make many jokes from you

  • ok smart boy do the math again and calculatehis money according to what money means for some countries in africa and when you understand what im saying you can find a high spot and live this world without you.we have enough stupidity already

  • you are a fucking idiot dude

    what do you propose, we ship money to africa and put it in the hands of corrupt officials?

  • can you tell me how old you are and where you are from,plz.i mean which country

  • Seems like Gates doesn't suffer fools likely.

  • im beginning to like this guy! Bill, that is :)

  • GOD BLESS U Bill Gates <3

  • so what he gives 5 percent of his money every year to charity.and so what?do you know how much more he has.he makes more money than 30 countries in africa make every year.and do you know howmany people in africa die every day?so who gives a fuck if gates gives 5 dollars every year and owns 1000 more and he shits in a toilet which costs 5000 dollars.with 5000 you can save peoples lifes.

  • he left Microsoft before vista idiots

  • Wow. Dude gets to interview Bill Gates and then comes off as a complete tool. "And then um, um there, um is like, and dude this isnt me but, lightning rod, um....." This interviewer should be shot.

  • Before you say that try being in his place he has alot of presser of being the chairman of micosft and also hes leaveing micosoft soon.. too help other people in need

  • Before YOU say anything, try spelling something right =)

  • he gives a huge percentage of what he owns to charity. i used to be an extreme gates hater, but now i see hes a great person. :)

  • YOYOYO! ur just jealous of bill gates! I LOVE BILL GATES! thanx to him we have internet! soo shut ur pie hole!

  • uhhh he didnt invent internet, he made microsoct dickcheese

  • O MY BAD! and dont fucken call me dickcheese you ugly fucken pie hole shit! OOOOPS! did i just say that?? i think i did pie hole shit!!

  • open source FTW!

  • I have made a video about Basic Unix/Linux Commands. If you want to learn about it, watch them.

  • Chief nerd indeed.

    That was a good interview.

  • bill gates rocks!

  • apenion?

  • everyone who's dissin him and his software needs to get a fucking life and take a better think about it.

  • lol nice asdasd

  • I'm not saying Microsoft makes the best products in the world, but a man of his caliber to go is sad. Personally I hope Microsoft will be able to survive with out their heart and soul.

  • computeur air

  • The master of the world seems to be so normal and nice, we have chance that it's him ! an bad one could be so dangerous !

  • cuma?

    naum entendi nada...

    hauhahah

    alguém faz um com legendas por favor, jah q a info naum eh capaz disso

  • I enjoyed watching it, nice work guys.

  • bill is one kool cat :)

  • Gizmodo rocks. Great interview! Nice to see Bill answer some different questions unedited and lathered by the (unfortunately) unnecessary PR monkeys. Bill Gates=a pillar of technology. I wish he would give me a job.

  • KERMIT!!!!!

  • Gate is among one of the greatest! I studied computer science in college and people hated him and MS just because it was in. When you asked them why, why would repeat the same gibberish others do.

  • He is suprisingly interesting to listen to.

  • Gates could sponsor a human mission to Mars as well. That would speed up a whole bunch of technological innovations and the TV advertising opportunities of covering such a project alone would cover the cost of such a mission. So all that's needed is someone to initiate it with 5-10 billion.

  • no helping the poor is our first priority...imagine if that 5-10 billion went to poor people

  • Technological advances from Mars mission will fix the poor problem.

  • Charbax -- Jane you ignorant slut....

  • how the hell would it help poverty

  • A Mars Mission could bring new technologies to bring free renewable energy, better medicine, safer transport, safer housing, better politicians (a Mars Mission brings peace since all countries participate), brings dreams and aspirations to all the children and creates hundreds of thousands of new scientists which will do all those innovations.

  • they already get a few trillion

  • No brother, getting the damn corrupt governments out of the way of those helping the less fortunate is the first priority! Governments already STEAL most of all charitable aid! If governments would be taken out of the picture there would be no poverty or senseless death and suffering. There might be a temporary increase in deaths as people begin killing their A-hole politicians and greedy corporate CEOs!

  • = "MS Mission Control, uh, we have a blue screen, life support failing, unable to reboot, emergency power only - PLEASE advise, over."

    - "Er, rodger MS Mars, thanks for calling MS Mission Control - please hold, your call is very important to us."

  • that's probably exactly what corporate a-hole Gates thinks everyday!

  • agreed brother.

  • good job

  • "Chief Nerd" ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • best interview of bill gates ive seens to date, thanks
