Microsoft "Microsoft has some catching up to do. It's not a phrase you hear every day. But whether it's Apple Computer's iTunes-iPod combo or Google's advertising engine, the software maker's top executives readily admit that they are coming from behind. In a rare joint interview ahead of the CES, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and CEO Steve Ballmer outlined their plans to catch their rivals and discussed why it's Sony that will have to play catch-up in the video console wars."

I'm in my forties and I like games. Got a problem with that? I also do dital video and keep a web page. I find time by skipping TV. Gates can afford to hire people to watch "Lost" for him ;)

Of course I don't have a problem with that. I like games as much as anyone. But he said "100 hours over Christmas". That's more than four days straight. I mean, did he do Christmas at all? Get out of the house and go for a walk? I don't think 100 hours crammed into a relatively short period is all that sane given who he is and where he is in life. Just my 2 cents. That's if you believe the guy and it wasn't just PR babble, of course.

It was probably hyperbole.
