I liked the awkward moment when Bill gets up and leaves right after the interview.

Seriously though, what does the F12 button do? Gates does a lot with his hands. He has huge fucking hands, and he waves them all over the place. Weird.

Bill is a busy man. He can't be bothered to stay for mindless chit chat.

Seriously, what is the point of most of the F# keys in Windows? Sure, they're used well in OS X, but in Windows? I think they could do some good things with a few keys. Maybe even make a Windows version of Dashboard and use the same key.

i think Gates came off as an ass hole when he bolted off the set. i got the impression throughout the whole interview that he wanted more questions about the specifics of vista. when he left at the end, he seemed like a little cry baby to me...

john stewart was funnier anyway.

Someone could very easily take the sound out of that interview and replace it with a hip hop song. Billy moves his hands like a gangster!

How many TV shows do you see Gates on? He probably just doesn't know that you're supposed to sit there till the cameras cut out.

I still have no interest in Vista. It seems like a useless upgrade unless you are a hardcore gamer. At lest XP brought much needed stability.

Vista is going to be awesome. Its not just gaming. Using the PC will be easier from what I have seen.

He looks and sounds like Kermit the Frog. Can't care less about Vista. Its an operation system, can it be more boring? And why would it be awesome for gaming cus it got DirectX 10? They could have that on XP too they just choose not to so the can sell more vista crap.

I think everyone is too hard on Bill Gates for every little mannerism he has. If anyone other than he or George Bush made most of rhe mistakes they get called on in public no one would care (to say nothing of the actual mistakes George Bush has made.)

i think gates is a cool guy, i just bet he was in a rush to catch a plane, not that he's a nerd or something, he's been interview a million times, he knows what to do.

That was a pretty cool interview. Man, Gates sure talks with his hands a lot. I'm shocked somebody didn't lose an eye.

And regarding the leaving early thing, He's Bill FUCKING Gates! The Bill. The Richest Man In The Fucking Known Universe. If he wanted to take a shit on Stewart's desk, not only would he be able to, but there is no way in hell he would suffer repercussions.

About as funny as Will Wright on The Colbert Report.

Which is to say, not so much.
