I read that interview. Gates needs to learn to at least mask his psychological issues, if not resolve them. It's embarrassing.

Apparently he lives in a fantasy world where Microsoft announced "Windows Flip" before Panther's Exposé, Vista's search before Tiger's Spotlight, etc. This is simply not true. Anyone who's been following the business knows that. It's possible that Microsoft had been working on these things behind the scenes before Apple, but I doubt that, and Gates's own quotes suggest otherwise — he laments that perhaps Microsoft was too public with its features.

He is also under the delusion that hackers take "total control" of OS X every single day, and that Windows is virtually impenetrable. Whaaa?!

I wonder if he actually believes this stuff. Either way, there is something wrong with his head, and it seems to be showing more and more with every interview.
