  • just watched it again from iPAAAAAD.....F U SHITosoft

  • LOSEEEEER, he doesn't have the balls or respect to SJ to compliment on the work of Apple and its products which LEAP BOUNDS over SCUMooft

  • @ThePrivateJoker And what with this? This is the past apple has the uper hand now

  • I just watched it from my ipad

  • why every video about this GREAT man have so much disslikes?

    I FIND OUT NOW.....ONLY BAD THING IN THIS WOLRD IS TO BE HATER!!!!

    I HATE NEW SCHOOL RAPPERS CUZ I RESPECT OLD SCHOOL but come on? IM GAY FOR BEING HATER!!! FUCK HATERS!!!!!!!!! BILL YOU ROCK SEND ME MILION PLEASE ;)

  • Scorpio always get jealous at pisces!...

  • @ThePrivateJoker - Wow. So you result to a personal attack from the get-go. Where I come from, that's a clear indication you have no "bullets in your gun." But I'll take the high road. I had a co-worker that got the first MS "tablet PC" - it was less than useful. I use my iPad 2 for everything BUT creating content. I read/reply to email, surf the web, watch videos - to call it a toy is to betray your own ignorance of what people need computers for. You are a PC fanboy. Nothing else.

  • I had a tablet pc back in 2000 or something. They were in many ways better than today's tablets, especially when it comes to drawing.

  • well windows is much bigger than mac, windows code use like 100 million lines of code, while mac use like 7-8 million lines of codes.. windows you could have much more free ability to do whatever you like.. therefore also the ability to make viruses.. mac did like 10 times less work and made it into thing that tells you what to do, and is easier to use. but there is no doubt you can do much more on windows, also if you like mac, linux is better than mac and is free.

  • @noobinstarcraft2 Mac is Linux with a shiny interface :P ... well its FreeBSD at least ...

  • The awkward moment when Bill Gates's windows computer crash.

  • he probably all apple products lol

  • @GujaRaa and @ThePrivateJoker .. You both are correct. Historically. But Apple tends to do things better than Microsoft and the proof is the iPad. Microsoft's first tablet was so shitty no one gave a fuck about. Even 10 years later, Apple found a way to make a jaw-dropping tablet. "People don't want tablets. They want iPads". And for fuck's sake.. there was a motherfucking torch before Edison's first lamp was out GujuRaa...

  • yeah I'm a huge fan of apple over microsoft but its idiotic to think the ipad was the first tablet. really stupid

  • Comment removed

  • Windows 8 tablet is amazing.

  • lol

  • BOOOOOOO, Bill, born a loser and plagiarist and will die a loser and plagiarist.

  • @Calls1ne

    Nice sockpuppet trolling account that you just made a few days ago. Nothing better to do? I'm working on my MCITP and I already have several big job offers. :)

  • @eviltube1111 I like that because you are so wrong. Did you just learn that word? Troll? Couldn't wait to try it out for the first time?

  • Dude, stop asking him about the iPad, he clearly doesn't want to talk about it.

  • i used the kin 2 (made by microsoft) it sucked ass the touch screen horrible then i got the iphone n microsoft got shitted on...

  • I have a motion computing m1400. It's specs and performance kicks the first iPad's ass. Microsoft definitely spread to the tablet market before Apple did, and even pushed out a more professional product that was capable of much more than what Apple introduced over half a decade later.

    Apple's the one doing the catching up, but their marketing expertise is so much better that they can get away with having a general public ignorant enough to believe tablets were born with the iPad.

  • @TLRtheory You can't rush a good product which is what Microsoft always tries to do. Instead of letting the other guy rush to failure so they can learn from it they rush out inferior crap and then Apple wisely learns from Microsoft's endless failures and does it right. Mac has always been more resistant to malware, virii and spyware and have become now immune by building a better ship. Windows is a sinking ship, and they just keep patching up the holes.

  • @Calls1ne Except Apple didn't "do it better"... they just know how to mainstream things for idiots.

    As far as functionality is concerned, Windows tablets over half a decade old can do far more than iPad of today. All they're missing is self-aggrandizing advertising and a legion of oblivious followers.

  • @TLRtheory Cool story bro!

  • Bring back the Zune in media player form with internal stereo speakers and front and rear camera.

  • @sewdavicious PBWAAAAHHAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I just spit peanut butter on my ipod I laughed so hard. Don't worry, it wipes right off this tightly sealed nugget of superior technology.

  • he seems really disappointed. according to the all things digital interview in 2007 with him and jobs, gates said (very enthusiastically) that he was currently using a tablet. seems like he missed the opportunity...

  • haha this is hilarious. you can tell he's just like "fuck these guys... shut the fuck up I said no comment bitch!"

  • Bill Gates is a butthurt douche 

  • @Tylerisuber You know very little about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs then.

  • He's right. MS has had tablets for YEARS before apple decided to try.

  • @ThePrivateJoker And with all that time in hand they just couldn't make a decent one.

  • @leonardotmcosta Couldn't make a decent one? You must be blind and stupid. Try Motion Computing or Fujitsu. They produce fantastic tablets used by doctors, not teenagers.

  • @ThePrivateJoker If a 6 pound mobile device that runs flash (just to consume battery life faster) seems fantastic, why does the iPad if preferred by more than 2/3 of physicians? Just because its fantastic for you doesn't mean its a decent gadget in a whole.

  • @leonardotmcosta ipad is preferred by physicians?!? lol Do you make this shit up yourself? Dr's don't use them for flash. Only teenagers give a shit about flash. 6lbs? I don't know what you're looking at. Again - look at motioncomputing . com and Fujitsu tablets.

  • @ThePrivateJoker I've looked the motion computing website. And you're right: it actually does a neat job in some areas. But what can I do? Its true: iPad holds a larger portion of market share. Not just with teenagers, but doctors and even teachers now. Just google it.

  • @leonardotmcosta Mcdonald's sells billions of burgers. That doesn't make a big mac better than a nicely done steak. The ipad is the big mac of tablets (along with all these android baloney tablets)

  • @ThePrivateJoker, He is right about MS going first. But it's meaningless, except to say that MS never got it "right." If you read Jobs bio, you'll learn that a guy from MS kept taunting Jobs about how their tablet was all that. Jobs finally said "let's show them what a tablet is REALLY supposed to be." And he did. So you can argue that, without MS, there would be no iPad. But trying to laud MS for "inventing" the tablet is as absurd as slamming Henry Ford for not "inventing" the automobile.

  • @cptndigital The only thing that is meaningless is your existence. MS DID get it right a long time ago. The ipad is a TOY, nothing more.

  • @cptndigital Why is it absurd? If someone invents something positive they SHOULD be lauded for it. Apple has consistently been taking existing technology and marketing it better. Most of their successful products were not created by them.

  • Those shoes are horrible

  • Yeah I'd probably be kinda annoyed if I were Gates. I mean, seeing a device his company has made ages ago be beaten by something that has relatively tiny functionality but just looks and feels nicer? Yeah... I'd be annoyed. I can't tell if he was in this video, but he certainly doesn't like to say anything bad (or good, but mainly bad) about it.

  • @juumdd Very true, I have always been insecure because I used to be a horrible speller. That doesn't make me an idiot now does it?

  • HE IS SMART FOR NOT BASHING APPLE OR ELSE MICROSOFT STOCK MARKET WOULD DROP

  • What a dick!

  • Let's keep this in mind, Gates has always had a soft spot for Apple. He likes their products, but when something isn't what it claims to be (a true tablet computer), Bill chooses to say nothing rather than something negative. Cheers Bill!

    And to the Boston Globe; you guys are weird.

  • How Rude to ask Bill about something like that . . 

  • we all know Bill is very impressed with steve job's companies Ipad. he's just not man enough to admit it. but I'll still choose a customizable desktop computer over a IMac that can't be customized.

  • @TheBalancedSoul Not man enough? Obviously Bill has something negative to say, and rightly so (the first generation iPad was not even close to a "tablet computer", just an app launcher), Bill and his team were doing true tablet computing years before. They don't get much credit for that, because the software was too clunky for the hardware at the time.

    Unlike Jobs, Bill takes the high ground; instead of saying something negative, he says nothing at all.

  • I think dep down he loves the iPad!

  • This was a ridiculously unprofessional interview. You don't ask a businessman what he thinks of his competitor's product, that's a stupid question which will just irritate them. The way it was asked came off as a dig when they said "when is Microsoft going to catch up?". A half decent interviewer would have asked "Does Microsoft plan to move into the tablet market?". That's an open question with no bias. The interviewer was either highly biased or just plain awful. I'd expect better from MIT.

  • Hese trying to contain all of his exitment

  • Right, his full time focus now is depopulation.

  • Jesus Christ Bill Gates, be humble you idiot, I'm not a fan of Gates or Jobs but this points me in the direction of Jobs more so then Gates.

  • @vexun11 it's funny how you refer to him as an idiot.

  • @juumdd Just because someone is highly intelligent in a certain way doesn't mean they can't be an idiot ;) There are different types of intelligence, for instance if someone with a very high IQ or someone who is considered to be very smart is very insecure and makes stupid choices based on that specific insecurity they can still be an idiot.

  • @vexun11 I see, and you brought up a perfect example of insecurity by answering this in detail and with proper grammar.

  • His reply is hardly surprising. He's probably bored to death about people asking him the same questions over and over.

  • Why does he got to hate like that ? Sheesh*

  • Bill gates fix your hair holy shit it's annoying ...

  • @KardTricks intelligent person does not have time to repair their hair....

  • No matter what's the outcome I just love his voice!

    And I wish I had the same :-)

  • I really like Bill Gates :D

  • I respect him very much but microsoft will not get destroyed if he just says "it's brilliant"

  • @SAHANKON Agreed. 

  • Well, this was pointless.

  • his rich, why bother anymore...

  • Historical fact: first commercial tablet ever released was in 2000 and it was Microsoft Tablet PC. iPad was released in 2010 and Jobs convinced everybody that it was his vision and Apple invention. How the f*** would you react on that betrayal especially whet it was Gates and Microsoft that saved Apple from bankruptcy (1997 Macworld Expo)? You bunch of gullible dumb asses. Apple and Jobs didn't invent iPod, iPhone or iPad as they claim, they just redesigned already existing technology.

  • @GujaRaa You could say that to an extent it was the vision of Movie directors like Kubrik. Ever seen 2001: A Space Odyssey?

  • @GujaRaa Apple did invent the iPod, iPhone and iPad. They didn't create the mp3 player, the mobile phone or the tablet computer, they reinvented it, that's why they have more profit than google has revenue

  • @GujaRaa And PC copied the atari computers,

    They copyed original technology.

  • @GujaRaa yes, and that's pretty important too.

  • @GujaRaa they invented their own ideas in these products, i think that is why they are successful, don't you? btw, i'm not an apple fan, nor microsoft's.

  • @GujaRaa well Bill Gates stole the idea of Microsoft OS from apple OS

  • @GujaRaa Why their tablet wasnt popular? Because it had crappy hardware and crappy software. It dosen't matter who released it first, it matters who did it right! Microsoft didn't advertised their tablet because they beleaved in its success. Without "appstore" ipad and iphone is crap. This is the great creation of Apple. When you restrict the users in the right way you give them software without viruses and hardware that works proper

  • I bet he has an iphone

  • He is gealous of Apple! ahha :)

  • @Viczey *jealous *haha ... I should charge for this service.

  • @KidRiviera yeah he is

  • Irgendwie denke ich gerade an Mr. Burns :D

  • he looks like my math teacher

  • most important part of this video is at 0:14.

  • fuck him

  • Typical Bill Gates. I remember him as always being technology ignorant. Back, in the day, the "heads" of IBM, Atari, Apple, Commodore, Sun, Microsoft, where in a "private meeting", primarily discussing the future, or put better, where/what they want the future to be. Bill Gates predicted, that Internet lines for home use would be extremely costly, high-speed modems will be BIG devices like a dot-matrix printer and cost hundreds of dollars...........guess what? Who was right...

  • Another words he realized that M$ is behind the times and wont even talk about it.

  • So why is he sitting on an iPad?

  • trying and failing, regardless of how long, does not mean tablet computers are a Microsoft phenomenon .... i think people need to be using it for it to be a phenomenon

  • @joejoejoesalmon 100% agree

  • Everyone pause at 0:20 !

  • filming his shoes and hands or whatever is really distracting and so unprofessional.

  • @MatiasVivas no it's not the camera guy just did it shitty in this video lol

  • @MatiasVivas its trying to relay that this question might make him nervous

  • @MatiasVivas this is to show if he is squirming, basically if his body language matches what he says

  • @MatiasVivas they are trying to editorialize the interview non-verbally. They want to make it look like he's tense or uncomfortable with the question

  • @MatiasVivas not necessarily. It reveals the tension and his character.

  • @MatiasVivas I deeply agree with u

  • @MatiasVivas it illustrates how nervous he is. You just don't understand body language.

  • my grampa has those same type of shoes...same color too X_x

  • No comment? really...?

  • he looks so uncomfortable...

  • Windows....damn, all I can say with my 7 on computer....

    Mac...THANKS GOOOD, thats what Im looking for..really:D

    PS: Mr. Gates it was a bad idea....Apple better.

  • Yep he uses one everyday......his whole work schedule is on it. He prob just put a windows sticker over the apple

  • @Funboy870 Gotta love those ignorant assumptions from apple fanboys.

  • @TransparentToy1993 Lol guess you are talking about me. Well i dont own anything apple...not even an iphone. I like them, just dont have them.

  • U can tell he likes it

  • Comment removed

  • haha "no comment" usually means "yes" and he loves his iPad

  • He's sitting like he's hanging on to dear life......

  • Microsoft sucks. open source movement rules

  • @TheMsdos25 Yet your name is "TheMsdos". 

  • Comment removed

  • @TransparentToy1993 just changed title

  • Gates himself admits they don't innovate anything.. He stole the Windows idea from Jobs and Windows sucks.. How's that Zune player? LOL! Junk! Apple A+++

  • @BrianPex youre a fuckin moron theyre the same thing...exept ive had 5 ipods...only 1 zune...still have it too....tryin to act like you know some shit haha

  • @BrianPex

    I hate apple fan boys like you.

    it's ok to say apple is good, but to say it's better then Microsoft LOL.

    How's that Pippin? LOL! JUNK!

    Xbox 360 A++++

    Note:Most of apple products are made by Samsung :)

  • @BJplusMilo21, they made A4,5 maybe 6 chip, so what?! patents are with apple on A-chips...you must say "Thanks Steve, thanks Apple that now Im sitting behind my PC and pad that comment" lol...

  • I'm sure he's got one...

  • Steve would have just answered the dame question with short answer. Gate is one of those guys that will never concede anything

  • @rez3 Except it's the exact opposite, Steve have never EVER thought of something new. He just reinvents stuff and sells it for 1.5x the price.

  • it's a windows phenomenon? Bullshit.

  • @eatbachelorchow Actually, Apple products are basically things that were invented years ago for 1.5x the price.

  • @olwerXL so... its still not a windows phenomenon.

  • @eatbachelorchow I should have said it like this. Apple reinvents products so that they are much easier to handle, (I think they're mostly for kids) then they raise the price.

  • Bill, its a simple question, just tell the man that you love the thing and play games on it every night and watch movies and cartoons on it every morning. You know its better, you know its superior and you know you wished your company was capable of designing a product that good. All you had to say is it is a solid product and that you think your products offer a wide array of benefits that the Ipad doesn't. But dodging a simple question like that makes you really look and sound afraid.

  • @markbonfigli He can't comment for several reasons infront of a camera you idiot.

  • Boy, that iPad sure looks uncomfortable.

  • from a business standpoint, what a stupid question.

  • Lol those some gay ass shoes.

  • @YoungBenWPG it probably worth more than ur life.....

  • Funny how everyones forgotten about the Palms. just about every buisness person had one in the 90's to play solitaire on!

  • he should have slapped each of them with 50 million dollars

  • Clearly shitting in his pants...

  • Comment removed

  • well i'm pretty sure he knows if he comments its a good one, or else he would have commented, him and steve jobs are actually friends now...or were...and he didn't want to discredit or give credit where it was due based on that relationship and the state of business with corresponding companies. I think he likes it, knows it's good, and he probably owns one if wasn't given one from steve jobs himself.

  • I always liked Steve Jobs more, that's the Reason why

  • Comment removed

  • @2point6x4 that makes no sense

  • People need to realize that Microsoft is a SOFTWARE company first and foremost. they are not a hardware company like Apple. Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc are hardware companies that compete with Apple.

  • @IDF1987 very true. it is because Apple make both, that such impressive machines are possible. I can't imagine how frustrating and overblown it would make an OS to be generic. Imagine a racing car with a champion driver. Now take out the driver and put in a carpenter. He can drive, make it around the track, sure. Or put the champion driver on a tractor.

  • I bet he got a iPhone ^^

  • What a fag

  • @Jamesyb0i But he's a living fag :)

    Too soon? Suck my dick.

  • whaha clever answers :)

  • No comment

    shit I commented

  • The interviewer must be as dumb as ****, to ask questions like that. "Hey, maybe I can get a scoop?" LEMON!

  • hes holding a fart

  • @bananamonkey606 stfu. hes a great man. he's done mre for the poor than u can imagine.

  • @Xaahu What about you piece of crap?

  • Comment removed

  • what some stupid shoes.

  • @alvinzzzzz6cpcheats I bet those shoes cost more than what your mom charges for a blow job.

  • i thought he would call it a load of ass

  • Kermit the frog? is that you?

  • Microsoft copies Apple's every move. Wow. #norespect

  • @macsdestroyspcs2 Apple shit is 10 times more expensive and their computers suck at gaming and are only for editing. Wow. #itsucks

  • @1Shaoran1

    I play mw on imac & i seriously kick asses of pc gamers.

    install cod 4 on your pc and then contact me, i will give you names of the servers i play on,

    I have played battlefield for 5 years, & seriously kicked asses of pc gamers.

    and i mean "KICK ASSES";

    go to wikipedia and check the number of games available on mac..you'll be surprised.

    yes apple products are more expensive than what they should be.

    but they also are far better than many pc.

  • @astralseeker there are still tons more games for the PC, apple products are just foxconn hardware with a shiny BSD added on to it, no justification for pissing away tons of money

  • @astralseeker what does this got to do whit PC's -.-

  • @macsdestroyspcs2 No respect? That sounds like Apple making those old adverts lying about how bad PCs were and insulting either Microsoft or Google whenever they get the chance

  • I am on an ipad but i hate it

  • gates is upset because Jobs had him beat every step of the way, and if microsoft was "ahead" every step of they way, hp's touchpad wouldnt have failed, miserably, the ipad is by far the best tablet

  • @impactsangle erm no... the ipad is shit compared to the price. hardware and pricing is outrageous.

  • @impactsangle

    Jobs and Gates had a PC war. Gates Won. And retired.

    As far as the iPad (or clone i.e. Android based) - nice concept, but it really is just conceptual. In a year or two this is going to be a VASTLY different space because in the rush to bring out the hardware, nobody bothered with an operating system for it. Just sticking a phone OS on a big screen isn't going to fly forever.

  • He liked it, its like when your buddy has something better then you...ITS SUCKS

  • i thought he was sitting on an ipad :D

    

  • It doesn't matter how apple is great.. everyone will be using Windows. How many of you are on the ipad right now? Microsoft was the biggest success ever and Bill Gates rocks!

  • that rich man needs to work out.

  • @shimmertone - The video was done in the style of a Michael Moore documentary - which the director focuses on some negative personal aspect of the person (in this case Bills spare tire) so that you'll make a judgement on what he's saying without having to think about what he's actually saying. You don't have to put any effort forth to come to a conclusion and you can feel better about yourself...

  • bill gates'e kafam girsin.
