Windows Gizmodo has been running an interesting series of videos (part I | part II | part III) where they interview Bill Gates. They chopped the interview up into smaller pieces (as in, 2 minutes a pop), but the fourth installment only lasts 16 seconds. Bill Gates does say something very honest and open, though. After Gizmodo asked him what product of the last five years he would've wanted polished a little more, Gates answers: "Ask me after we ship the next version of Windows. Then I'll be more open to give you a blunt answer."

He knew that the interviewer wanted to ask a question about Windows (Vista) because most medias rant about the quality of Vista.

They could also ask: What Apple product could have used a little more polish before release? What would be the answer? Leopard? The biggest portals wrote articles about Leopard bugs. They wrote it's not ready for release... These complicated products like an operating system .0 version can't be polished enough.
