Seriously."},"content":{"rendered":"

Bill Gates has just finished up his first-ever reddit AMA<\/a>, answering users’ questions for just under one hour. Among the topics of discussion included Microsoft, coding, his wealth, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, vaccines, and yes, Bing.<\/p>\n

Replying to question “Do you guys really use Bing? I mean seriously?” Gates had this to say:<\/p>\n

\n

Seriously Bing is the better product at this point. Try the challenge. I am biased but the work to make Bing better has been amazing.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So there you have it, folks. Bill Gates thinks you should take the Bing challenge<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Among the other interest answers given by Gates…<\/p>\n

Since becoming wealthy, what’s the cheapest thing that gives you the most pleasure?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kids. Cheap cheeseburgers. Open Course Ware courses…<\/em><\/p>\n

What one Microsoft program or product that was never fully developed or released do you wish had made it to market?
\n<\/strong>
\nWe had a rich database as the client\/cloud store that was part of a Windows release that was before its time. This is an idea that will remerge since your cloud store will be rich with schema rather than just a bunch of files and the client will be a partial replica of it with rich schema understanding. (WinFS)
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Can you still jump over chairs?
\n<\/strong>
\nLess than I used to. It was part of exercise for snow skiing. I still ski but I am not as hard core…
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

How was your relationship with Steve jobs? I always hoped that y’all were really good friends and competitors.
\n<\/strong>
\nHe and I respected each other. Our biggest joint project was the Mac where Microsoft had more people on the project than Apple did as we wrote a lot of applications. I saw Steve regularly over the years including spending an afternoon with him a few months before he tragically passed away…
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

What emerging technology today do you think will cause another big stir for the average consumer in the same way that the home computer did years ago?
\n<\/strong>
\nRobots, pervasive screens, speech interaction will all change the way we look at “computers”. Once seeing, hearing, and reading (including handwriting) work very well you will interact in new ways..
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Head here<\/a> for to read the whole Q&A session. <\/p>\n
