Bill Gates Talks Surface, Windows 8, and All Things Microsoft

“Surface is an unbelievably great product,” says Bill Gates in an interview with Microsoft’s Steve Clayton. It’s not surprising that the former Microsoft CEO is excited about the Surface and other upcoming Windows products, but he has more than enthusiasm to share. Gates goes into some detail about his own experiences with the products.

Gates explains why he thinks touch is important and gets a plug in for speech input, as well, but he focuses on the importance of Windows 8 being available wherever you go. You won’t hear anything earth-shattering, but it’s an interesting five minutes. And if you plan to buy a Surface in the same color as Gates’ new Surface, it’s a must.

Josh cut his teeth (and hands) on his first PC upgrade in 2000 and was instantly hooked on all things tech. He took a degree in English and tech writing with him to Computer Power User Magazine and spent years reviewing high-end workstations and gaming systems, processors, motherboards, memory and video cards. His enthusiasm for PC hardware also made him a natural fit for covering the burgeoning modding community, and he wrote CPU’s “Mad Reader Mod” cover stories from the series’ inception until becoming the publication editor for Smart Computing Magazine.  A few years ago, he returned to his first love, reviewing smoking-hot PCs and components, for HotHardware. When he’s not agonizing over benchmark scores, Josh is either running (very slowly) or spending time with family.
