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."

I don't think anyone will disagree that Vista was released before it was fully ready. Unfortunately, Microsoft tried the "it's done when it's done" mentality -- and it backfired miserably for them, so they rushed Vista to market.
Isn't assuming he's talking about Vista a little bit reaching, though? You could easily make arguments for a few other Microsoft products that haven't reached their full potential thanks to premature releases... Windows Live, Windows Mobile, Windows Automobile.
