Bill Gates Interview - 7/22/1991

[@PeterSobol]

He always gives a polite and informative answer, no matter how many times he’s had to answer the same question. Even if the question is kind of dumb, he still polite.

[@mateoburic653]

I wish I could punch the interviewer sometimes. He just doesnt know his stuff yet tries to appear so sofisticated with his hi hat tone

[@PeterSobol]

Bill is significantly smarter but treats him with respect and answers his questions politely. The man is well-rounded.

[@Alixxusa]

I think the thing people don't realize about Bill Gates is that he could have been successful doing just about anything but chose computing.

watching Bill, on KZbin, in Chrome, on a Windows OS, on a Dell... that's what Bill and Steve always wanted us to end up with regardless of their competition!

[@Alkatross]

Or on apple TV, in safari, via mac os, on an apple computer, connected through apple router backed up in apple cloud...

[@TheLarryBrown]

Neither Bill nor Steve wanted anything like that. Bill would want you watching on MSN, in IE. Steve would have wanted what Alkatross wrote, but he would have wanted you to watch content authored strictly within the Apple ecosystem.

[@onkelebert787]

Most of all, Steve wanted to cry if the table the monitor was on wasn't in the right color.

[@daverz15]

Are you joking?

[@tedd8055]

I don't know who this interviewer is but just by the questions he asks of Bill I sense a degree of ignorance and even negativity. Regardless of how one feels about Bill Gates, he was a visionary in the computing world. I would suggest reading a book titled, Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire. Absolutely a great read.

[@fixups6536]

Yeah. He managed to kill every competitor with tactics that were not criminal enough to actually result in severe penalties, and held computing back so much in the process. What a vision. What an achievement.

[@Ghostshadows306]

@@fixups6536 Thats exactly right. People think these guys are visionaries, intellectuals and creative artists when the reality is they are nothing more than no good cut throats who would sell their mother to make a deal.

[@cpcnw]

@@fixups6536 It's a shame he didn't exhibit the same openness and collaborative work ethic that Gary Kildall lived by. The world would of been a better place. When everything becomes about profit, very few people gain.

1975: Altair BASIC was the first version of BASIC published by Microsoft. In 1973, Gary Kildall wrote CP/M - this wasn't just an interpreter - it the first disk operating system for a microcomputer.

Very nice footage, looks clean for such an old interview.

[@TinLeadHammer]

Only 30p though.

[@TechRyze]

Yep - video quality at SD on videotape was generally higher quality than online SD video footage which often used low bitrates, compared to say, a DVD. It’s often a case of finding a high quality source tape, and using decent capture equipment. There’s a lot of junk out there, unfortunately.

[@chrishenderson5444]

[@andrewcanella]

Interviewer: Graphical user interfaces are clearly easier to use. Bill: well, that's just not true... take Excel for example... it's the same. Nice try, Bill. We get that you're trying to dodge the question, but your lack of PR skills are definitely showing here. Even he knows he's wrong here - Windows just wasn't fully baked yet.

Does anyone know where I can find the original video for this

[@vimalcurio]

Interviewer was asking very dumb questions lol

[@markteague8889]

I am perplexed by all this talk coming out of Bill Gates mouth about a debate within IBM as to whether or not IBM would choose an 8 or 16 bit processor for the IBM PC. What I have heard was that IBM considered using the Motorola 68000 (which is a 32 bit processor internally with a 16 bit data bus) vs the 8088 (which is a 16-bit processor with an 8 bit data bus). They went with the 8088 due to concerns over Motorola's ability to supply sufficient 68000 parts at a suitable cost. Additionally, IBM had utilized the Intel 8086/88 family of 16 bit CPU's in prior designs such as the Display Writer. I've never heard that IBM ever considered utilizing an 8 bit microprocessor (such as the Motorola 6809 or MOS Technologies 6502) for their opening salvo into the microcomputer market.

[@jamesbyrne9312]

The interviewer lost his mojo by the end of the interview

[@stevojohn]

Is the interviewer stoned?

[@RebuttalRecords]

@12:32: Bill's worried expression reflects the realization he just admitted the fact he has a monopoly over the software industry.

[@iluvyunie]

that's hilarious, even his eye movement goes from - wait a minute - how could that be construed - oh shi - well he's still talking, let's just grimace uncomfortably

[@HikikomoriDev]

What's the machine he has in the background? It seems like it's one of those dockable laptop systems.

[@niningsetia4213]

[@RBLevin]

Maybe a Toshiba dockable?

[@amochswohntet99]

It’s pretty remarkable how long Bill held the WRP title. Goes to show the absolutist nature of the market.

[@redmartian]

It is interesting how he can gloss over 1968-1975 when PGA could recount precise details of using the GE-635 from the Lakeside Teletype "closet", the KA10 at CCC in the UD with Steve Russell, Bonneville Power Authority under Bob Barnett, Harvard and then on to MITS where they used a KA10 at Albuquerque SD just as Micro-Soft was formed. It really seems as if Bill wasn't into it all until after Paul had figured out that this was all very important and forward thinking work.

[@jamesbyrne9312]

This interviewer started with tough questions but didn't hold bill to account on his answers.

[@plica06]

Thank you for this comment. On the one hand the interviewer had several interesting topical questions but he never challenged Bill on any of his politician like responses. I guess he didn't want to get blacklisted.

It very serious conversation. That an interviewer. Took advantage of your Mr Gates. It's very simple. The answer to the very first question? Is money. How disrespectful. Bill Gates didn't go around asking people to come to him. So US and WE. Need to remember how much work. This young man actually did so much more than any of US understand. 👍😔 The truth is that young Bill Gates life experience was very stressful. I can only imagine everything. That he experienced with time flying by. 😊😊😊 Thank God

[@Karrllson]

You know only about Steve Jobs because of Microsoft. They changed the world. They made the internet happen.

[@topologyrob]

My impression of Jobs is not great though - a controlling narcissistic personality is how he came across, at least to me.

[@eatfastnoodle]

he didn't have the charisma but he had the same compose and confidence as Jobs, despite his stereotypical nerdy appearance.

[@pvandck]

The difference between Gates and Jobs was that Gates knew about computers and computing. Jobs was basically a marketing man with some interesting ideas (not all of them entirely original). He had little technical knowledge or interest. The idea of promoting Apple as a "lifestyle", for example, had already been done by Pepsi.
