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."

you guys seem to focus only on the cheap thrill byline I think the other videos were interesting. Bill Gates didn't pull any punches and was pretty honest with the performance of his company. Its also interesting that unlike Ballmer(and on the other end of the spectrum, Jobs), Gates doesn't feel the need to bash Apple and in-fact gives them kind of compliment.

I'm no MS fan at all (I haven't used windows at home for 3 years) but I did find the videos interesting and Bill Gates was actually likeable.
