BBC Bill Gates Interview

[Transformersprime217]

Wow. I bet apple got an idea to build a "Tablet kind of device".

Damn no good has come out of dat apple companeh..

[lamb1500]

@beaverkeish1 omg did u hav to look that up?.. And why are you bumming bill gates?... Let me guess... You love vista?... And by the way you're wrong!!! Bill gates might be the richest ever nominally but in real terms he isn't even close... John D. Rockefeller was worth 1.4 billion in 1937 but in todays money that would have been worth $600 billion!!! Sorry but bill gates is poor next to this guy...

[ucheucheuche]

2007 - Bill Gates - tablet type device - should've made the iPad then.

[magicalleopluradon71]

wow vista i love vista who doesnt love hating vista

[xXvolhvXx]

School textbooks are primitive.

[Aabalone]

press 3 for "whining"

[Ignas0000]

I'm a PC and so is he

[GTR717]

keep pressing 9 xD

[van11695]

lol! Bill Gates predicted the IPAD!!! 2:44

[corianderthal]

@van11695 the Ipad isn't "inexpensive"

[zohaib733]

bill gates says "tablet computer device like textbook" so I think Apple stole his idea........what the hack

[ValerianSugar]

Everyone here thats saying Bill Gates sucks, you're probably using windows bwahahahaha

[rakeebur]

haha he mentions tablets back then but then apple came along and owned everyone with the ipad. now if you ask bill about the ipad he just says no makes out hes not keen on it

[cunninggnomefoo]

windows vista SUCKS

[lordurgod]

his voice is so cool

[born2fight99]

I wanna be his friend!

[keithrig]

Gates is no doubt a true genius and is surprisingly articulate in interviews.

[JimmyJohanes]

billionaire..

[emirates247]

You'd think a man worth £50Billion would buy himself a comb and comb his hair before doing an interview. I understand some people dont worry about there looks too much, but you should at least try to be relativley smart when doing an interview.

[01musicbabe]

@emirates247 ikr so unporofessional :L

[Danielthephenom]

@emirates247 his hair has always been like that though

[kirter23]

omg, did he say "tablet type device"?? did he just give Steve jobs the idea for the Ipad??

[flashash2k9]

vista is probably the best operating system ever. the problem was the hardware, was no where near ready. windows 7 is basically vista with a few tweaks and a new name.

[TheAdnan1]

awsomeeeeeee man!!

[apostolisxa]

bill gates earns a million time more than an averagae american

[ToaJoe]

@apostolisxa And he donates a lot of it to charity. A LOT.

[01musicbabe]

@apostolisxa actually he earns billions more than the adverage american (hes worth 54 billion us dollars)

[TheCROZZER]

2:07 Quality of their products , hmmm , xbox ?

[TheCROZZER]

When is he going to do a interview about Xbox's RROD ?

[zolfezolfe]

good man he is

[USBEDR]

Vista suxxx

[flashash2k9]

@USBEDR actually, it's one of the best os's ever. the problem was the hardware was not ready for it.

[USBEDR]

@USBEDR

wht you mean hardware wasnt ready?

[Lostpanda123]

apple and amazon stole the idea about kindle and ipad from Bill!

[kenspocket]

@Lostpanda123 dum , google apple newton .

[insideg4mer]

Before watching on, stop and think. This man is probarbly one of if not the most important person in the world still breathing.....^^

[bjkatt7]

Fuck this asshole. Pardon my French.

[CassiusChrysanthe]

@bjkatt7

nothing to appologize for, my friend. I was gonna say this video is right only about one think, that this guy is really a digital punk. apart from many other denominations and shameful connections... a disgusting freak, bb-member, potential murderer and fascist.

[saroh25]

dude u got over 120 bil dollars, gimme 1 mil plz

[lamb1500]

@saroh25 bill gates has never been worth 120 billion.... he gave away a lot to charity but the most he was worth was about 70 billion... he is now worth about 50 billion...

[beaverkeish1]

@lamb1500 He was worth 112 billion actually. He was the richest man in the world for over ten years, and no one person in the world, has developed a fortune worth more than his. and in 2011 the richest person in the world had just under 54 billion.

[750Mickey]

@saroh25 then work that much

[MultiSnakeman]

@saroh25 He has 59Billion

[Subhashrider]

What a man??????

You have always been my role model

[tnguyen318]

Bill Gates is Da Man !!!

[TheBlackConscience]

You would think with net worth of $50 billion this guy could afford to get a better hair cut

[GamePlayUpload]

I had bugs in Windows vista i had to wait till 2008 june till the bug was fixed

[ML755]

I like google better than bing

[TerrorBlack]

I think this is the best haircut I've seen on him

[rock3tcat]

I don't mind Bill Gates stealing ideas from other people & companies and making money out of them, but I do mind the fact that he wants everyone to believe that he came up with all of those ideas and that he's somehow the world's biggest genius... That really gets annoying after a while... :(

[chebhamza32]

0:38 if we translate this laugh it will say to us = i've already made billions screw you all, i'm runing Microsoft now just so i don't feel bored

[MiraculousJohnson]

It is very ironic that Gates predicted the rise of tablets in 2007, and now with the advent of the ipad, Microsoft is taking a "wait and see" approach to tablets. At what point did the wheels of innovation stop turning at microsoft?

[weirdsleepovergirls0]

Bill is class, u wudnt have heard of him rachel lol

[GaarasLoverxxx]

o..o?

[weirdsleepovergirls0]

class

[sovietmarxist]

bing is bad. why are they trying to get into search anyway?

[bigjonnyjon]

exchange rate? you get more dollers to the sterling . so usa products should be cheaper for uk ppl

[darthdude1016]

sorry but i feel like dressing him in green thermals he sounds like kermit the frog no offence mr gates

[tomcam808]

he earns £9000 second!

[DarkArmy76]

38-39 ahah

[mubd1234]

Yay windows veesta.

[NoShit12]

:38 ~ :39 - What kind of laugh is that ?

[DeadOwnedYou]

HAHA I GOT MORE MONEY THAN YOU LAUGH

[danndan6]

i have been trying to find an interview of bill gates where he gets a grilling but no one has done it so far. something here is fishy

[Fleshrip]

give me some money plz u fucking bastard

[leeuth]

lmao

[halomanXP]

same here come on fukin guy

[oordeler]

he gives money to ppl who need id to live from

[danndan6]

i think that if your reasons for disliking him are purely because he has money, that is not fair. if you have another, more legitimate reason, things may be different

[bigjonnyjon]

we dislike him cos he has a monopoly , i cannot choose to use anyo ther operating system on my pc

[danndan6]

i don't think it is fair to dislike him simply because he has a monopoly. it would be fair to dislike him because of how he handles that monopoly and his abuse of that monopoly. but every single company has a monopoly withing their own specific (sometimes very specific) category.

[sovietmarxist]

You can use linux...

[milliomoselme]

make a better one ;)

[blakediton]

Orangesmoothie1234 would you rather he sat there, motionless and speaking in monotone? At least he has a personality unlike some rich people :)

[kaotick420]

man if had $101 billion my hair is the last thing i'd give a fu*k about

[MrQatari13]

i never heard bill gates voice and now i heard it the first word he said was HA HA

[14LuvMusic]

@MrQatari13 And did you enjoy his laugh? It's cute isn't it?

[ZEHM89]

the man is awesome. a true captain of industry.

[gnossticc]

@ZEHM89 Yep, but Vista sucks!

[gizmo2084]

Bill Gates is such a shyster! A professional lier.

[Madienzen]

you suck so much , haha

[Fitfatfoofite]

Isn't that what all businessmen are?

[HellHoundzZ]

anyone notice his hair is really messy haha :P

[OrangeSmoothie1234]

He's fuckin jittery as hell...looks like he's been smoking crack lol

[charlieiscool1000]

Hes rich and famous yet we hardly ever see him in public where the hell does he live ?

[osidekid3000]

yea i heard he lives somewhere in washington state, but i heard that he drives a semi crappy honda, its crazy to think the richest man alive drives a honda

[Waaromiknouweer]

He's so rich XD

[j0su309]

freak sucks stupid bill " ME CAGO EN TU MADRE HIJUEPUTA"

[hamzanaeem99]

bill gates suxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[muk546]

bill you suck

[Selasia]

Beep shit, as usual.

[scheper]

1:08 for us Slashdot users

[koloss999]

Translation of the answer on price discrepancies: European customers are willing to pay more, so we charge them more. US becoming a developing economy etc.

[Hunnter2k3]

Nay for Vista, Yay for WinXP and/or Win7.

While Win7 is certainly close to Vista, it certainly fixed most of the mistakes in it.

Now if only i can get rid of the hideous interface. Instant i get Win7, first thing i will be doing is writing my own interfaces, especially for Explorer, what a god-awful redesign! Who the hell thought that was a good idea?

[halfondat]

lend us a fiver bill?

[paccopco]

vista rulezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[DeadPixel00]

Vista is great, it's retards who masterbate 24-7 who suffer from the Viruses which cause the operator to crash.

[Kostanzas200]

So True LOL!

[corrosivegamer]

Vista can suck bill gates' s 1inch dick

[ChuckNorrisMadeMacs]

Anyone notice he avoids most of the questions?

[somberlight]

he's bill gates, master of all weasels ever lived. what do you expect?

[ecxlex]

vista not veesta

[zainuintel]

hahahah my mates say veesta but its vIsta

[ecxlex]

haha

[UpdownCourt09]

Pronunciation. You are from Australia, he is from Britain.

Or maybe your a kiwi import to Australia and still say your 'i' like a 'u.'

[prasangabas]

so if he thinks google is doing good things why he wants to buy it and ruin it?

[DrewNUFC]

bill gates is quite an amazing man... imagine how intelligant he is..

[enlightenedtwo]

Compared to me, his relationship with meaningful knowledge, relative to an interdisciplinary intelligence, hasn't even began.

[esoeso122]

Intelligent enough to be worth 50+ billion dollars.

[tolazyk]

Bill loves his tablets...

[darknesslord40]

well the problem with windows vista is that is slow but if u configure correctly windows vista u will get the same speed as a linux or mac still i have linux and windows vista in the computer i accept it windows is good but linux pwns :D

[marcelchelo]

i like the idea about the notebooks in school

[usernamefuckoff]

Funny how I was also thinking about when people might invent something similar to an interactive writing board as a substitute to paper textbooks and notepads.

[freespeachrulez]

He said it all " You got to make sure your old products are obsolete" That is why we will never have a stable good operating system..Thanks Bill!! If this mentality was in the automotive industry as compared to a Windows Operating Systems we would all be driving cars that stop for no reason, loose tires off their rims, need engine upgrades every oil change, things like locks, a windshield, and doors that need to be installed 3 months down the road.

[esoeso122]

Since you know more, you should make a OS.

[freespeachrulez]

No, My money already goes to crooks that do and release known bugs into their systems so we are forced to upgrade or apply their patches that hog memory, resources, and hardware. Forcing us to upgrade our machines to run their latest garbage software.

[esoeso122]

Then buy a Mac.

If you don't like that don't use a computer at all.

Like they say, You can't make everyone happy.

[freespeachrulez]

Thats true that they can't make everyone happy. But when you put something out in the marketplace knowing it has well known flaws, and forcing your inferior product onto people who prefer pc's for the applications and games, at least make it a good product. I use XP and I just finally after 3 years of patches and downloads have made it the way it should of been in the first place. As consumers we don't have to endorse someone getting rich while ripping people off in the process. Hear that Bill?

[esoeso122]

You use XP.

Thats all I need to know.

I use Vista, I am happy with the product, in fact VERY happy, never crashed on me.

A great product, XP doesn't compare.

[dontreallycare3]

i think bill gates is AMAZING. and this is coming from someone who owns a mac. windows is great too, you know.

[clouds102]

I use FreeBSD. iTS much better than any windows product and free

[guilhermeura]

microsoft sux.. i broken the operation system

linux forever ;)

but i respect bill gates.

[pleiades379]

that interviewer looks like bush

[lebled09]

bill gate is very good

[knaughtynitefox]

yes i agree.. cant say the same about steve jobs at Apple.

[wildcat1559]

billy boy loves talking with his hands. is he italian or something

[yihd]

Nah, He has aspergers.

[mattfox14]

windows veesta

[cihan66]

BILL GATES IS STUPID !!!!!!!!!!

[lofsdalen]

Yea really, the guy isent only the richest guy on earth and hes not the first one who made a softweare to a computer at age 14?? What are you? 20-30? and think what you have done.....

[RodrigoGates]

you dont even know what you guys are talking!

About the security of Windows, the OS is indeed secure. but the USERS dont know how protects his System, and dont know how use a good antivirus , they click on banner "click here", entering on xxx site (speacily teenagers). if you do that stuffs, dont complame about MICROSOFT WINDOWS!!

SEE YOU GUYS LATER, AND GET SMATTER!!

[MacNerd1239]

You're right. These people complain about their computer being infected, and they have no firewalls, no virus protection, and they're watching porno and stuff. Fuckheads, I have had one computer since Win95 and it has ran Win96, 98, ME, 2000, & now XP without Virus protection and I have NEVER been infected.

[PK9602]

The point is you shouldn't NEED a fucking firewall or anything else to surf the web securely... You're using a computer from 12 years ago???? In 1995 a midrange computer was a Pentium 90 with 8MB of RAM!!!!

[dariusofwest]

SMATTER?

[RoyalNavy123play]

did you hear how he laughed at the start when he was asked about microsoft loosing its edge................PRICELESS!­!!!

[muka5001]

You know, I really wanted to respect Microsoft taking its time and getting Vista just right, but its look feel and human interface introductions are clearly innovations taken from Apple Mac OSX.

[SGTSPITE123]

We at Microsoft have a er global way of looking at the er, global er market! twat! translation yes we really do think we can get away with charging £320! ($635 USD) for vista ultimate in the UK!!!

[iNic]

He sounds exactly like Kermit the frog!

And when thinking about it, Ballmer is a pretty good Miss Piggy too... :-P

[degenerator777]

people are always complaining and blah blah blah blah about windows vista but deep inside their shit they want vista and still they use windows. if those people complaining really mean what you are saying then quit using windows and go to hell with your mac which you said is better and you can't afford to buy one

[S1337ghost]

uh um "and you can't afford to buy one" vista utimate 600 euro !

linux is way better then vista (and mac btw also)

[S1337ghost]

"and you can't afford to buy one" vista ultimate = 600 euro.

linux = free and better :)

[S1337ghost]

"and you can't afford to buy one" vista ultimate = 600 euro.

linux = free and better :)

[dgora7]

I dont know what he calls innovation. If stealing from apple is innovation then Microsoft has done alot of innovations over the years.

[theunluckydip]

indeed.

[silvercondouloboy06]

You know, recently a lot of innovation has come from Open Source.

[ssssroryssss2]

Apple are not exactly "clean" either, they didn't invent widgets/gadgets. Their first GUI was a complete rip-off of an xerox computer.

[WergsSpurgs]

... and to date - a complete rip off from unix for Mac OS X

[Dannyh120]

bill gates - what a twat. there's nothing innovative about microsoft what-so-ever.

[mysonyps3]

What a dork! Probably one the biggest theives in the world. Spoiled Rich kid whose mom got him the interview with IBM under the most dispectable circumstances. Wonder how well he sleeps betraying friend Gary Kildall, who mysteriously died in '92!

[this99guy88]

Bill is the man....

[theunluckydip]

He has a great laugh.

[this99guy88]

yeah its hilarious. Lol

[WookieeBlaylock]

he's nearly a good laugh,

almost a joker,

with his dead down in the pig bin,

saying "keep on digging"

[lazysquirrell]
