No, he really wasn't. Always a step behind and always engaging in monopolistic practices as well as controversial practices like "embrace, extend, extinguish." At this point in time, by way of example, MS was behind Apple in terms of UI usability, and way behind Netscape in terms of the Internet and web. That said he's an extremely intelligent man and his philanthropy work nowadays is absolutely amazing. I never would have predicted he'd be using his wealth to make the world a better place back in the 90s.

Here Bill Gates was at his prime.

Software is complicated, and business is complicated, but Bill’s a nerd’s nerd, so it’s no accident or surprise that he led Microsoft to the top spot. It’s interesting, that Charlie Rose’s speech patterns at this time were mirroring JFK.

My Bill😍😍. I Love your Voice❤❤❤❤❤. I love your Heart I Love so Much Baby.

Gates announced that he would be transitioning from full-time work at Microsoft to part-time work, and full-time work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He gradually transferred his duties to Ray Ozzie, chief software architect, and Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer...

"...I think the scariest thing is that the company would become successful enough that would get complacent and we'd stop worrying about what we're missing, stop really hiring the very best people or listening to customers as well as we need to, and then missing a turn in the road would become very very easy..." Yes this was what exactly happened to Microsoft from 2000-2014 until very recent when Satya became the CEO.

Hardly ridiculous. The very first time I was on internet was August 1996. Google did not exist. Most popular search engine was Alta Vista. I remember doing search for "Ansel Adams" and I got zero hits. I could not believe it. I said to myself, the internet is too young. One of the most successful photographer of all time and there's no article or pictures of him, wow. Everyone wants to say they were already on internet at that time but the truth is, the internet didn't start really getting popular until maybe 3 years later with the dominance of AOL. By early 2000's the internet was finally getting mainstream. Windows XP really helped to drive the internet as it got everyone excited about computing. I would not feel bad about getting on internet in year 2003. I was using Google way back when they were still in Beta. In 2003, Google was still not that popular. I was using Gmail starting around 2005. I knew about Gmail starting 2004 (Beta), but you could only get an account with an invite and I didn't know anybody with an account. Google didn't start becoming a household name until maybe 2007.

For a non technical person Charlie Rose was well prepared with this interview and asked the right questions. In this interview Bills Gates shows that he is not only a genius but also a great communicator. However I am surprised on the following: 1. After dominating the browser, with Internet Explorer they lost almost 90% of the market share to Google. I know that Google was able to hire smarter people but Microsoft had great people to, deeper pockets, installation based on every computer at that time and a big head start. 2. How Microsoft completely missed mobile. Their device failed along with their mobile operating system. 3. They failure to capture the young market for computers. How many people under the age of 30 are using PC's? Maybe the biggest surprise now is that Microsoft is at highest value now despite all of their past failures. Thank goodness for Azure.

Well, the first two things happened when Bill already wasn't CEO, but Steve Ballmer. And the third one would happen anyway.

Re "active desktop" at 24:40 - I think that widgets/live tiles+system notificants+web 2.0=their idea of active desktop. Funny looking back at what they hoped for the future and seeing it being realized in Android, Windows 8, and KDE Plasma.

Let’s not forget that Steve jobs and Steve Wozniak were actually the first pioneers of the PC. Bill Gates just stole their idea and refurbished it.

That look 46:30 :-D That's amazing what image industry has created around Microsoft and Bill Gates and for Bill Microsoft is just a software company that specializes in PC software. Those in this industry understand well that PC is just segment of a larger market, which includes traditional players like IBM, HP, Cray and others who design computers and software for large businesses and government organizations. Although I understand reasons behind that image public had about Microsoft -- back in 1996 personal computers and their emergence among general public were a novelty and since Microsoft was most popular OS for PCs it felt like Microsoft had it all in IT.

I knew it. Bill is a wonderful and splendid man ✨️ Bill ❤😊

lol, even tho bill knew all this about the internet, he still got caught out by google, mainly because of the rivalry with apple

A commendable comment. +1.

funny hearing about Active Desktop where all your favorite info is displayed on your desktop thats was supposed to be out in 1997/8 took a further 15 YEARS to be properly realised in Windows 8!!!

Ironically it's a shit argument now "Where does that leave Netscape". Leaves them with thinking of new ideas. It's a none argument because IE is still shipped with Windows OS's however, Firefox isn't yet now has a hirer share of the browser market. Netscape could of done the same, but failed and blamed Microsoft.

the reason people hate it is because once one way is learned its hard to unlearn it and learn something new. people dont like change when they get use to something because it already takes a long time to learn the original way. it becomes frusterating when its for a job and a entire company of 100 to 500 computers and people need to learn a new layout overnight. the original windows layout is easier to work with you just double click what you need. visually the new windows looks awesome but what looks great doesnt always navigate great. people want there desktop and start button. windows has removed tons of features that make no sense over the years that has pissed me off greatly. 1. removing the total file size in the staus of a folder near the bottom, now you have to select all, right click, and choose properties. 2. when you highlight certain objects and then resort the tab in the folder it unhighlights what you had highlighted. 3. the way you tag your songs in mp3s on xp automatically gets changed to a different way if you look at them in windows 7+ and then that starts messing all your songs up (i spent a month categorizing mine and windows screwed them up). the dumb administrative errors that pop up, not being able to format things that you should be able to, companies abandining recovery discs so windows can sell more windows cds, not being able to get rid of the "show desktop" button that i accidently click when im scrolling. i can go on and on

Great interview! I especially found the commentary helpful from the other business owners. A story: Years ago, I just started using Twitter and searched for Bill Gates--thinking: "Cool, he'll tell me all sorts of business advise and tips on how to be successful in life!" All I found were posts about how much he's donated to some water well in Africa or how he was planning on ramping up his philanthropy to this category, etc. I was so disappointed. I thought: "C'mon, Bill, just tell me how to get rich already!" Thank goodness for older interviews now being posted on KZread. A successful person is too busy being politically-correct these days and trying to get the public off their backs. That's what they get, for too-quickly trying to erase religion. Warren Buffet is doing the same stuff right now, telling the public "money doesn't make you happy." That sucker is definitely a different man behind closed doors.

Haha yes I know that but I mistakenly thought he was being ironic (i.e. he does not share his money, which he actually does) ...but he didn't retire right I mean he is still a chairman... What duties does he have as a chairman?

not really Linux isnt just for serverside just about all of the smartphones made today excluding iphones of course are all linux based systems same with banks systems Linux is so powerful and reliable that banks use the os to keep all their records and what not some atms are linux based.
