No, he really wasn't. Always a step behind and always engaging in monopolistic practices as well as controversial practices like "embrace, extend, extinguish." At this point in time, by way of example, MS was behind Apple in terms of UI usability, and way behind Netscape in terms of the Internet and web. That said he's an extremely intelligent man and his philanthropy work nowadays is absolutely amazing. I never would have predicted he'd be using his wealth to make the world a better place back in the 90s.
Those who were born in the late 90s will never possess a tearful appreciation for the internet, that the generation born in the late 80s has. I can remember clear flashbacks of sitting in the den and watching my mother dial-up onto Netscape Navigator, and thinking it was the coolest thing I've seen.
It's crazy how a now grown-up generation never knew the world. I feel young being only 31 but I have significant memories of the internet being a "nice to have" thing that most people weren't expected to have at home regarding school requirements, until around 2003-04.
This was an interesting video. I had been working there at this time. Mr. Gates had new hires over for a new employee dinner once a month. I didn't go for extremely ignorant reasons. Wasn't I blessed to have had such a grand opportunity. Forever grateful and getting wiser.
People can say a lot of bullshit about him, nevertheless we can't deny, he's such a visionary and such an entrepreneur. This video is a clear lesson of how companies' ceo should think and act today, but this was recorded back in 1996, more than 17 years ago!
Not really. If we are talking about the concept, the Pocket PC and Windows Mobile were realized much before iPhone. Consumer success/failure aside, Windows Mobile was the first read smartphone OS out there.
"...I think the scariest thing is that the company would become successful enough that would get complacent and we'd stop worrying about what we're missing, stop really hiring the very best people or listening to customers as well as we need to, and then missing a turn in the road would become very very easy..." Yes this was what exactly happened to Microsoft from 2000-2014 until very recent when Satya became the CEO.
Gates announced that he would be transitioning from full-time work at Microsoft to part-time work, and full-time work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He gradually transferred his duties to Ray Ozzie, chief software architect, and Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer...
Software is complicated, and business is complicated, but Bill’s a nerd’s nerd, so it’s no accident or surprise that he led Microsoft to the top spot. It’s interesting, that Charlie Rose’s speech patterns at this time were mirroring JFK.
Well, technically, the iPhone's iOS is a smaller version of OS X, which itself is more a BSD-based implementation of the POSIX standard for UNIX. The only thing it has in common with Linux is that they both try to be a UNIX system.
He doesn't really go all in on the internet in this interview though which kind of surprised me. Because when you look back on it it's like... Of course that was one to blow up. The only thing I could see that might have slowed it down back in the day was the delivery system. Maybe something like the iPhone would have to come first but then again maybe the iPhone is never made if the internet wasn't what it was by that time. But yeah this guy is absolutely one of the Shapers of the modern world ride along with Jeff Bezos and Steve Jobs and a few others.
Interesting to see this... I think Windows had like 95 % market share in early 2000's. Now Mac OS X has gained market share and Windows is less than 75 %... Back in days Windows very really good... not anymore like Bill predicted that problem would be not to listen customers anymore and be the best....
Ironically it's a shit argument now "Where does that leave Netscape". Leaves them with thinking of new ideas. It's a none argument because IE is still shipped with Windows OS's however, Firefox isn't yet now has a hirer share of the browser market. Netscape could of done the same, but failed and blamed Microsoft.
I randomly got here to watch this video,mr. Bill gate,you were awesome,although I don't use Microsoft Windows any more,I still do believe Windows and visual studio is the best product in the universal
That look 46:30 :-D That's amazing what image industry has created around Microsoft and Bill Gates and for Bill Microsoft is just a software company that specializes in PC software. Those in this industry understand well that PC is just segment of a larger market, which includes traditional players like IBM, HP, Cray and others who design computers and software for large businesses and government organizations. Although I understand reasons behind that image public had about Microsoft -- back in 1996 personal computers and their emergence among general public were a novelty and since Microsoft was most popular OS for PCs it felt like Microsoft had it all in IT.
How fantastic it is! Can I share this by reposting your channel on a nice platform named Gan Jing World? For sure that I will not change anything. If you are fine with that, please let me know. Thank you
Bill Gates comments were all correct and all very diplomatic. However his assessment of Netscape was completely wrong. Surprised that Netscape did not even achieve the fraction of success that Google did.
I randomly pressed on this... Now I realize that Microsoft in the Bill Gates years was truly innovating... Not putting a smaller battery to make a phone thinner and than call it "innovation"...
+Lilian They never were innovating! All computers had for example graphical user interface long before PC and Microsoft. DOS was invented by Digital Research, not Microsoft. In this video you can see that Microsoft did not see Internet coming, they try to tide users to their own propriety network... Later, when internet exploded, they use unfair business tactic, leveraging monopoly position, to destroy competition (they use this always, starting from MS-DOS/DR-DOS, Windows/OS/2, WordPerfect/MS Word, Lotus123/Excel later with OpenGL/DirectX, ActiveX/QuickTime, WM/MP3... sometimes they have more, sometimes less success in this unfair and bully tactics).
For a non technical person Charlie Rose was well prepared with this interview and asked the right questions. In this interview Bills Gates shows that he is not only a genius but also a great communicator. However I am surprised on the following: 1. After dominating the browser, with Internet Explorer they lost almost 90% of the market share to Google. I know that Google was able to hire smarter people but Microsoft had great people to, deeper pockets, installation based on every computer at that time and a big head start. 2. How Microsoft completely missed mobile. Their device failed along with their mobile operating system. 3. They failure to capture the young market for computers. How many people under the age of 30 are using PC's? Maybe the biggest surprise now is that Microsoft is at highest value now despite all of their past failures. Thank goodness for Azure.
It was in 2003 or 2004 that my family started using internet in my hometown in the Balkans. The man who helped us set the hardware up, told us not to use Google, since we were presumably not skillful enough. The sound of the dial-up connection was one of the most memorable mystical experiences of my life. From today's standpoint, it all may seem ridiculous, though.
***** Exactly. It seems rather silly, but his intention may have been to prevent us from accessing potentially dangerous content. What were we supposed to use the internet for? We, of course haven't followed his advice, but I remember the story as a favorite stone age artefact in my life.
Hardly ridiculous. The very first time I was on internet was August 1996. Google did not exist. Most popular search engine was Alta Vista. I remember doing search for "Ansel Adams" and I got zero hits. I could not believe it. I said to myself, the internet is too young. One of the most successful photographer of all time and there's no article or pictures of him, wow. Everyone wants to say they were already on internet at that time but the truth is, the internet didn't start really getting popular until maybe 3 years later with the dominance of AOL. By early 2000's the internet was finally getting mainstream. Windows XP really helped to drive the internet as it got everyone excited about computing. I would not feel bad about getting on internet in year 2003. I was using Google way back when they were still in Beta. In 2003, Google was still not that popular. I was using Gmail starting around 2005. I knew about Gmail starting 2004 (Beta), but you could only get an account with an invite and I didn't know anybody with an account. Google didn't start becoming a household name until maybe 2007.
I'm pretty sure every gaming system (xbox, ps3, wii, etc) and every type of smart phone uses Linux as it's OS. Linux is the most customizable and all sorts of good stuff. People look down on them, but they have their role in technology today.
Bill's poker face improved a lot over the years. Nowadays he is like a statue. Back 1996 he still had a tell with the corner of his mouth. Yeah, Mr. Gates, you're awesome!
i know ima get slack for this but windows 95 is still my favorite operating system and i would still use it today if i could. it was basic, it didnt take up memory, it did what i needed which was browse the web and use a notepad. i could see the file usage of the folder in the status of it at the bottom. it didnt have gigs worth of shit i dont use. all my old programs i used ran on it that were basic programs that didnt have a shitload of useless buttons and features i dont use

Zack H. the problem with windows 95 is everything new doesnt run with it thats why i eventually had to phase out of it. you cant install the latest web browsers or programs. new programs are made to work with new versions of windows and it wont let you install it on old versions it will say not compatible. which is why i still have a few old computers with my old programs on them. im not sure how to run a virtual machine and im the only somewhat computer savy person out of the people i know so theres no chance of anyone showing me lol. is a vm running a operating system on top of another one? like a layer almost?

William Henry Gates III (Seattle, Washington; 28 de octubre de 1955), conocido como Bill Gates, es un magnate empresarial, desarrollador de software, inversor, autor y filántropo estadounidense. Es cofundador de Microsoft, junto con su difunto amigo de la infancia Paul Allen. Durante su carrera en Microsoft, Gates ocupó los cargos de presidente, director ejecutivo (CEO), presidente y arquitecto jefe de software, además de ser el mayor accionista individual hasta mayo de 2014. Fue uno de los principales empresarios de la revolución de las microcomputadoras de las décadas de 1970 y 1980. 68 AÑOS. (69)
Great interview! I especially found the commentary helpful from the other business owners. A story: Years ago, I just started using Twitter and searched for Bill Gates--thinking: "Cool, he'll tell me all sorts of business advise and tips on how to be successful in life!" All I found were posts about how much he's donated to some water well in Africa or how he was planning on ramping up his philanthropy to this category, etc. I was so disappointed. I thought: "C'mon, Bill, just tell me how to get rich already!" Thank goodness for older interviews now being posted on CZcams. A successful person is too busy being politically-correct these days and trying to get the public off their backs. That's what they get, for too-quickly trying to erase religion. Warren Buffet is doing the same stuff right now, telling the public "money doesn't make you happy." That sucker is definitely a different man behind closed doors. Moral of the story: 1) Get rich 2) Apologize later
Freebie also. Dartmouth limits to growth. Real ivy league library book. Sustainable things that can't persist over time don't. Mechanical engineering professional paid. Is sustainable.
Word (aka Bravo from Xerox) and Excel (aka Multiplan) and entire MS Office are pure garbage of software! There is e.g. Papyrus Author that integrate database in "Office like" suit that anybody can use with ease. Microsoft Office is unmanagble garbage compare to Papyrus. You have e.g. Quantrix (Improve descedant) that is light year ahead of Excel. People use Office only because they do not know for better.
The 20th century in general was one of the most productive centuries ever. Einstein, Dirac, Feynman, Tesla, Edison, Vivekananda, Satyajit Ray, CV Raman, Tagore, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc. were all alive during that century.
Re "active desktop" at 24:40 - I think that widgets/live tiles+system notificants+web 2.0=their idea of active desktop. Funny looking back at what they hoped for the future and seeing it being realized in Android, Windows 8, and KDE Plasma.
so that brings back the most important point that the companies who own streaming platform like cables or satellites are going to make lot of money,clout just by their carrier power without which nothing will work , that is what i am trying to find out, content revenue comes later.
the power and clout will remain with streaming platform unless that service is not there all your machines or programs are redundant so whoever consolidates or has the biggest share of owner ship has the final clout
the reason people hate it is because once one way is learned its hard to unlearn it and learn something new. people dont like change when they get use to something because it already takes a long time to learn the original way. it becomes frusterating when its for a job and a entire company of 100 to 500 computers and people need to learn a new layout overnight. the original windows layout is easier to work with you just double click what you need. visually the new windows looks awesome but what looks great doesnt always navigate great. people want there desktop and start button. windows has removed tons of features that make no sense over the years that has pissed me off greatly. 1. removing the total file size in the staus of a folder near the bottom, now you have to select all, right click, and choose properties. 2. when you highlight certain objects and then resort the tab in the folder it unhighlights what you had highlighted. 3. the way you tag your songs in mp3s on xp automatically gets changed to a different way if you look at them in windows 7+ and then that starts messing all your songs up (i spent a month categorizing mine and windows screwed them up). the dumb administrative errors that pop up, not being able to format things that you should be able to, companies abandining recovery discs so windows can sell more windows cds, not being able to get rid of the "show desktop" button that i accidently click when im scrolling. i can go on and on
it took more than 20 years for idea of online content to find revenue anyway now it is very much part of modern connected world. still not the entire world still traditional television still holds sway unless it is also online streaming which it is now.
Bill Gates never predicted the future. He made the future.

He talked about active desktop in 96. Was Windows 8 the first time we got a actually active desktop? Or is he talking about something else?
Windows 98 had Active desktop - it could show webpage as part of Windows background....
Great change since then and now
Great interview! I especially found the commentary helpful from the other business owners.
A story: Years ago, I just started using Twitter and searched for Bill Gates--thinking: "Cool, he'll tell me all sorts of business advise and tips on how to be successful in life!" All I found were posts about how much he's donated to some water well in Africa or how he was planning on ramping up his philanthropy to this category, etc. I was so disappointed. I thought: "C'mon, Bill, just tell me how to get rich already!" Thank goodness for older interviews now being posted on CZcams. A successful person is too busy being politically-correct these days and trying to get the public off their backs. That's what they get, for too-quickly trying to erase religion. Warren Buffet is doing the same stuff right now, telling the public "money doesn't make you happy." That sucker is definitely a different man behind closed doors.
Moral of the story:
1) Get rich
2) Apologize later
haha twitter only came lately, no content of Bill competing with IBM, Apple, and others :)
Kind of interesting when he at 24:40 talks about Active Desktop but what he describes sounds very much like the Windows 8 Start Screen.
19:29 Well, we're in business to make money
Not anymore... now they are in business to get woke.
Freebie also.

Actually Office is flagship product of Microsoft not Windows operating system. It is help many persons improved productivity.
Word (aka Bravo from Xerox) and Excel (aka Multiplan) and entire MS Office are pure garbage of software! There is e.g. Papyrus Author that integrate database in "Office like" suit that anybody can use with ease.
Microsoft Office is unmanagble garbage compare to Papyrus.
You have e.g. Quantrix (Improve descedant) that is light year ahead of Excel.
People use Office only because they do not know for better.
The multimedia PC with Windows 95 catapulted Microsoft to Pluto
Wael Ghafarji crazy
the 90s wasnt 10 years! It was an entire Era of Hope and Prosperity!
The 20th century in general was one of the most productive centuries ever.
Einstein, Dirac, Feynman, Tesla, Edison, Vivekananda, Satyajit Ray, CV Raman, Tagore, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc. were all alive during that century.
Gates is the former chief executive and current chairman of Microsoft.

I wish I had his brain.
20:30 Google works in a lot similar way how Microsoft used to or still works.
19:18 bad criticism
Who else here was looking for clips of Gates talking about depopulation?
12:02 He predicted software and OS updates through the web, as well as what we now call the Cloud.
LMAO, I think someone wrote these questions for Charlie. I doubt he had any idea what the fuck Bill was talking about.

IBM is a rival in love.🧡💚
💙💛
i miss messenger... the whole NT-XP-Win7 infrastructure
I respect Bill. This man has created a Giant.
internet is the most democratic ... then came amazon, google, iphone ios, android, facebook, twitter, netflix, spotify ... and others hehe
Bill is a lot more like a sunny boy and nerdy scientist than a merchant.
Re "active desktop" at 24:40 - I think that widgets/live tiles+system notificants+web 2.0=their idea of active desktop. Funny looking back at what they hoped for the future and seeing it being realized in Android, Windows 8, and KDE Plasma.
36:07 - "Were just touching the tip"!?!? Wow Bill...
so that brings back the most important point that the companies who own streaming platform like cables or satellites are going to make lot of money,clout just by their carrier power without which nothing will work , that is what i am trying to find out, content revenue comes later.
not a memorandum
Bill wore a tie by this time.
the power and clout will remain with streaming platform unless that service is not there all your machines or programs are redundant so whoever consolidates or has the biggest share of owner ship has the final clout
everything became a service
25:15 This seems like the Windows 8 Live Tiles, which people hate. I dont know why they hate it, I personally find it useful and cool.
the reason people hate it is because once one way is learned its hard to unlearn it and learn something new. people dont like change when they get use to something because it already takes a long time to learn the original way. it becomes frusterating when its for a job and a entire company of 100 to 500 computers and people need to learn a new layout overnight. the original windows layout is easier to work with you just double click what you need. visually the new windows looks awesome but what looks great doesnt always navigate great. people want there desktop and start button. windows has removed tons of features that make no sense over the years that has pissed me off greatly. 1. removing the total file size in the staus of a folder near the bottom, now you have to select all, right click, and choose properties. 2. when you highlight certain objects and then resort the tab in the folder it unhighlights what you had highlighted. 3. the way you tag your songs in mp3s on xp automatically gets changed to a different way if you look at them in windows 7+ and then that starts messing all your songs up (i spent a month categorizing mine and windows screwed them up). the dumb administrative errors that pop up, not being able to format things that you should be able to, companies abandining recovery discs so windows can sell more windows cds, not being able to get rid of the "show desktop" button that i accidently click when im scrolling. i can go on and on
MelodicsRareMusicVid Nice reply.
Two years into the future since this comment and 20 years since this interview I am on Windows 10.
im still on xp, and forcefully 7 just to be able to run newer programs that wont run on xp.
Active desktop Now introduced! it called windows 8 :D
Then the Google algorithm buried it all.
Fall in love with this incomparable handsome nerdy saint at first glance......
Yuk
it took more than 20 years for idea of online content to find revenue anyway now it is very much part of modern connected world. still not the entire world still traditional television still holds sway unless it is also online streaming which it is now.
He's quick-witted here, but if you watch his deposition video he takes a looong pause before answering every single question.
Its hands are so lady like.
Man, does Bill ever avoid the question... Is that business bull or delusion...
43:00 shabba ranks
Great
