You never worked with Steve not Bill so you won't know. People who worked with Steve had only good things to say about him.

Raghu K And the video focus I straight on

You actually had to use a real camera then which makes it much better so much of the early digital video

Then how they nose-dived off a cliff with all films in 2023 bombing and being slammed for forcing political agendas down our throats at the cinema… So that $7.42 billion was not well spent, it was lost. Real shame, that real shame. Not.

This is possibly the only long-form recorded video of him in his element

You are a genius. This is EXACTLY what I was thinking.

​@@ohio You're talking out of your arse my nigga. Bill Gates wasn't CEO when the mobile battle happened, although you could argue that he maintained effective leadership until his last day at Microsoft in 2008. Steve Ballmer was officially CEO from 2000 to 2014, he did a shitty job between 2008-2014 which were decisive years for mobile OS supremacy. Bill Gates was a visionary CEO, Ballmer is he one to blame for mocking iPhones and tablets, and not seeing the mobile wave approaching. Last time I heard, the two of them stopped talking because of the whole ordeal.

@@ohio THE WORLD WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF

@@ohio Microsoft was deep into the Internet because they saw it as a way to even further strengthen Microsoft and increase its dominance in computer tech industry, they didn't see it as a way to create new Internet services and enable creativity. When I said deep I meant Internet Explorer which was meant to crush Netscape and gain ground and increase Microsoft's market share in new computer tech industry called Internet or Web, increase their market value and increase their power. And I think that I read an article which said Microsoft's employees were trying to persuade Bill to invest more into Mobile and he didn't want to do it he thought PC will rule computer industry forever unfortunately for Microsoft that didn't happen. Bill was more passionate about home entertainment industry and Microsoft's investment into Xbox than he was about Microsoft's investment into Windows Mobile.

@@alainportant6412 Microsoft created tablets before Apple but I think Bill's emphasis was on device's hardware and software than classic Apple's App Store which enabled tremendous creativity and distribution for app devs.

Yeah anti competition suits were heating up all over the place, they didnt ask him in and he goes in to try and tell them to print a story that they micorsoft not interested in the internet, they didnt do anything with is, so he probably kept having poor people executed in drug fueled rages back at his home. I remember very clearly back then, Internet Explorer was straight up at war with netscape navigator. Even if you say disagree with the anti trust for bundling IE with windows, you can not disagree that microsoft was even trying to intefere in html by supporting non standard tags that netscape did not, meaning lots of corporate sites had to, HAD TO use IE or nothing.

Yes I was getting that feeling throughout. He's putting it on, trying to look as if hes dismissing. Trying to leave no doubt.

Well, he was right but he underestimated trog cell phone users who see a dollar sign and just push it to pay for everything. They don't realize there are adblockers and other ways to share information without paying. These big companies came to the internet and are now trying to lock things down to prevent people from sharing information. The DEFAULT mode of the internet was just sharing information - now companies are trying to change the way this place works for profit. You used to be able to right click every single image or video on the internet to SAVE IT. These days? Not as common. They're RUINING it.

He is a good computertechnologist and knows about what he talks perhaps, do you.

You can say that again. I think so ,too.

I will Never get this Gates vs Jobs thing. They both helped to revolutionize technology as a whole. Microsoft is the biggest desktop OS in the World, the Office Suite is used by basically every student and every Company and the Xbox and Now Xbox with XCloud has helped revolutionize gaming and cloud / games services just as a few. Apple revolutionized the way we listen to and think about music with the iPod and iTuens, changed the smartphone and serving as the template as the way we design and use smartphones today, bring the idea of millions of apps is your pocket, created the best selling tablet and Apple Watch sales now make up a majority of not just smartwatch sales but watch sales in general. They are now both multi trillion dollar companies.

Yeah! He's up there with Stalin & Mao as a Mass Murdering Psychopath😈👍😁

Its absurd to compare them. Apple sells/sold hardware. M sells software. They arent even competitors.

And he also wants to help depopulate the earth.

@Infinitee Prospecting it is very nice of you to remind me about this video ,so I can look it again and renew good hope that there are still wise people like Mr. Gates Bill and many more.sorry my English is not perfect but I know you will understand if you try hard.by the way ,have you ever heard of Chuck Feeney?

MSN then signed up for Prodigy or CompuServe or IBM Information Superhighway

Seun Bill is usually like this, the antitrust Bill was an exception, Bill was undergoing a lot of pressure and it had a powerful impact on him. But I don’t think Bill is any less open now.

Openness? He wouldnt even entertain the idea of “content clubs” being successful.

Ship CommanderLoL Ok. Bill was wrong this time, so what?. It does not make his other contributions any less meaningful. Bill is really smart, but, he isn’t right about everything, is that your point?. Isn’t that obvious anyway?

@@CMMSFP I don't think he's wrong, if anything he did not yet realize that there were going to be just a few platforms for content creators, but these platforms don't make the content. If you look at youtube or facebook he's still completely right. There are a huge amount of channels and no one channel has a huge market share. Pewdiepie for example , while being the biggest creator by far is not even 10% 'of' youtube

@@bertlammens4392 I think Gates and journalists were referring to media content clubs like todays Disney+, Netflix and HBO. And all of them have multi billion dollar revenues. The thing you are talking about are user generated content platforms like Facebook, KZfaq and Instagram. Individual content creators are not important the platform as a whole is important. Facebook, KZfaq and Instagram are making billions and billions each. No matter how you look at the "content" it is very profitable and attractive industry.

@@shipcommanderlol6577 but he at the beggining of the interview said in the next 10 years lest see, so in that sense he wasn't wrong

That's because nobody wants to LEARN how the internet works so they think movies cost money. They don't realize it's all free.

Hubris

you look like you have a nice and comfortable poitrail, bravo

@Verbal Diarrhea Which would make him incapable of deception.

Was 41-years-old Bill like a shark ? Really ? Why ? Did you thin so ?

English Felix we cannot understand

it says its a wired interview? thats a magazine

@@m1kr0kosmos Whatever that was, DVDs were expensive as fuck so they wouldn't give them up with a mere magazine. All things considered, that would easily fit on a classic 650 MB CD-Rom, even with their shit compression rate. Kids probably paid $20 for that extra disc and a few demos hopefully

@@alainportant6412 , magazines would sometimes do video recordings of interviews to be printed in text instead of basic audio recordings. Likely the video was then released later as an interesting footnote in history. A recording doesn't mean they intended a consumer side release.

@@JimBob1937 huh that's correct, I remember getting Take2 demo cds when I bought those cheat code magazines back in 1999 or something

Honey I've got money too... Lol

precisely at 28:24

thank u @@exodaniel

And dangerous.

@@SpiritualReform I feel like I need to tell you something your parents clearly didn't say enough: you are an idiot.

Apple juice. Greases the wheels.

Yeah Xbox such and doesn't make money

What motivation would you want him to have? When operating a business revenue is one of your key indicators of customer satisfaction, and it's your responsibility to run as a profitable company to be able to keep offering that satisfactory product/service.

No shit, he runs a business
