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

It’s very interesting watching these old videos recorded way back in time predicting what the future would be with the benefit of having already seen what has actually transpired. 😊

If you saw the interview, Gates talked about smart tv's in fucking 1992, that's awesome

“some of my ideas i think are pretty good” good job bill

This man is just a genius at answering questions. He is so optimistic in his answers and doesn't take questions personal.

Thanks a million for sharing this video with humanity. Regards from Argentina via Canada.

His face is 9:18 is priceless. This journalist is talking to a young titan about business as if she has ever had to build anything...ever. All negativity and regurgitation, no substance. Respect to Gates for the composure. Dude is such a pro.

She starts every question with 'but' -- who hired this lady?

It's so obvious that all she sees is the barriers they face, but Bill sees right past them. Perspective is everything.

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 KZfaq. All of Gates responses were very eloquent and extremely quick. His poise and communication skills at the age of 36 is highly impressive.

9:14 whoa! That look he gives her before answering.

I like how he immediately disarms her polarizing question about the "Japanese threat" without as much as a hiccup 22:51.

I've been driving around the Microsoft campus in Redmond for the last hour looking at the dozens of buildings they now have covering hundreds of acres. I think Bill was right sweet heart. LOL

"email sounds like a bureaucracy" LOL

He mentioned about Smart TVs in 1992 ... I was not even born then. 🙏

min 14:00 there its the moment when the brilliance of this man and how he started to improve the world. its sound simple and a lot of sense what he was doing. Thanks bill you really deserve what you got.

Talking about smart tvs in 1992

What a visionary, the man is amazing!!

Ahead of his time. Very interesting to hear this in 2020.

Wow, she was annoying and extremely prejudiced.

She sees everything from such a negative perspective that she lost the opportunity to interview a genius. He was patient. It must have been an exhausting interview for him.

The chemistry between the two was up & down; I dig Bill’s acknowledge nod to her ‘thank you’

Like a 90s version of the Cathy Newman and Jordan Peterson interview.....just replace "so what you're saying" with "but what about.."

Smaller companies always challenged Microsoft, but it was interesting that how Microsoft eradicated them one by one.

Susannah Simons: Surely the book is the most interactive form of learning possible Bill Gates: On a computer we could blend text, sound, pictures and the ability to go at your own pace, the possibilities are endless. Susannah Simons: *I havent gotten the slightest clue what you're talking about*

Its about 221,000 MS employees now..in 2024..

I feel like they could simplify Workgroups even more. They are a bit clumsy still to setup and sync.

The age of a product's brand and identity does not in any way dictate its lack of usefulness and efficiency. Many products which haven't changed their face over time are still in existence and are constantly evolving. Heck, your up to date PC today will still run code written 50 or more years ago if you have the right operating environment for it (VM etc.)

Beast. Just a beast

this guy came from the future using time machine to dominate the world. definitely living 100 years in future while being in the present.

@8:42 smart tv???

I can't believe they are talking about multimedia here. I don't even have that in my phone anymore 😂😂

"But what can a computer do that a book can't??" *facepalm* R U SIRIUS

@4:50 Microsoft has over 156 thousand employee in 2020, significantly more than his 24 thousand maximum estimate

Very unique! How could you bill! Unique is an absolute term!

It was interesting asking why keeping alive a 10 years old product like the Dos System , I remember those times when a system was judged by how innovative was the code , that year was released Linux and it was (still) free so why to keep paying .

correct, information is key to knowledge...at that young age he spoke about it but it was Google who actually went ahead and created that website.

Proverbs 1:22 (KJV) How long ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

"But email is just electronic bureaucracy, isn't it?" Silly cow.

How Bill didn't come up with smartphone first, i'll never understand....

True pioneer of an industry. Hats off genius.

I saw him at Comdex in like 1994/1995, and he was an UBER nerd.

so much "but".. can she just agree at least once? LOL

25:00 Gates said I'm 36 so this interview was done in 1990 not 1992.

...and now we have artificial intelligence, intelligent fabrics, intelligent vehicles, advanced robotics, 8K screens you talk to...

How do you get these videos? He's a perfect beauty!

He's wearing a 1970s Sears Catalog rugby shirt.

the sheep interviewing the shepherd....

BuT EmAiL iS jUst SoRt oF eLeCtRoNiC BeUrOcRaCy iSn'T iT?

The famous oversize glasses LOL

Talks like a saintly kid... Unbelievably humble.. But he is the most cunning businessman world has ever seen!

He is intp(Ti+Ne)

Bill a forward thinker with a vision, gifted with a brilliant mind and a great head on his shoulders at an early age. A great achievement. You have done yourself proud. Congratulations 🎉 May you always continue doing great things in your life Much love and blessings 🙏♥️

There was a time multimedia was a just a dream in computing😅😅

He had a good vision...but there is still more to invent and achieve...Its not done yet.

❤

Qui era giovanissimo.

Bill Gates without him there wouldn't be: WORD, EXCEL, ACCES, POWERPOINT for example. Or so to say WINDOWS. Kind regards.

This lady...good god. Lack of vision and imagination.

Young

His telling a person who is way older than him about better ways of learning. Must be strange for her. This kid hasn't even had that much time to learn the things she knows. How could he possibly know better ways of learning?

18:12 time traveler spotted.

1992 called, they want their quality back

Bill who?

Spoiler Alert: Susannah was wrong.

Shes not very imaginative. Stuck in 1960 thinking

Bill was just a poor millionaire here 🥺

13:46 He forgot to say it was Xerox, not Microsoft.

He's realising that he has created a monster. Most of them do. In reality we all want to be back in the rainforests.

I thought this Bill Gates guy was a medical doctor? Who knew he used to do computer stuff...

If Bill Gates was in my school he would be a different "thing"...

" What can a computer do that a book can't".... You can tell she thinks she's intelligent

Bill gates sir ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This guy has no idea what he’s talking about. He’s probably flipping burgers nowadays

☺

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.

she thought bill was mental / "bollocks "

What a terrible reporter.

This host is what Pink Floyd has referred to as 'another brick in the wall'

May God remove his spectacle

This man knows nothing about feelings.

I wonder if this is real lol

this guy is the nerdyist and geekist person I've ever seen but damn, he is filthy rich and all self earned

I just prefer the genius of Steve Jobs. This guy makes money by killing off competition.

Here Gates reminds me of young Zuckerberg

The biggest criminal of all time... but he is the world's most patient person here :)

❤️
