How could anyone say this man doesn't donate? He donates millions every year, on top of that, when he dies, ALL of his remaining assets will go to charity.
As of this date, the Gates Foundation has paid for all of my undergraduate and graduate tuition/fee/stipend. Needless to say, this has been a fair chunk of money that his foundation GAVE to someone else so that those less fortunate could get a higher level education. I'm grateful for the Gates Foundation.
I respect him. Especially, he is better at the world as efforts, and he is donated by his own huge money for the world 🌎. 👏 Bill ♥️ Go for it, and I support you from Japan.
he's not a politician. He speaks in a way where the public can understand him. He keeps that in mind. Why is it that the people are more "ignorant" than politicians? because we don't even understand half the words that they speak. Also, I don't think Bill Gates has a speech writer. But it's good that he keeps in mind that he's speaking to the general public.
His soul needs admiration for not what he is.. but for his untiring efforts to fullfil his dream of bringing a computer in the desk of every house.. and now its almost to an indispensable level of having computer in EVERY desk of each house. He made it so quick that you guys don't see the accomplishments behind it..! Please think before you comment about it..! Not that his products good, i would say his achievements a great!
He invented a big software company when computing was a lot more than just Apples and PC's. MS was around and important long before Windows came about.
Bill Gates deserves all the money he got he is one of the Smartest men on earth and he deserves all the con grades for building Microsoft like he did he did a good job and if it wasn't for him we would not be were we r today most likely thanks for everything Bill Gates for everything you enjoy your Billions now
Your banks, big institutions, research facilities, etc run in UNIX and UNIX-like, Linux. Yahoo, Google, eBay, Amazon, etc, they run on UNIX. If you have been to airports like Cincinnati, Ohio where flight arrival/departure info seems to be running on Windows 2003, you will know why UNIX and Linux are that good. Maybe your smart phone can use Windows Mobile but even Balmer accepted "we fumbled".
The key to the wealth was that the "brains of the time", IBM - who said no one would ever want a computer at home - bought the operating system from MS, while allowing MS to keep the intellectual rights to the system, as they never thought it would go anywhere. Hat off to the man for giving away a huge amount of money AND making sure that it is being used on cost effective solutions to save lives especially the malaria research as that has been underfunded compared to aids research and kils more
Grid computing uses Linux. This relatively new virtualization is picking up MS Exchange is always a vm but it is not that critical application. The mission-critical ones are running under Solaris, AIX and in very expansive ways, Linux.
The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is a wonderful organization. You can harp on windows all you want but Jobs has yet to compete on the philanthropic level of Gates and probably never will.
It is already. Almost every student now in college has a Mac. Nearly all schools are already switching to MACs. Also, Mac isn't game compatible much...good for home use when you have children. On top of that, MACs don't get viruses. Based on my experience, MACs last a lot longer than PCs. It also has better quality.
The personal computer era is fairly nascent and I'm sure companies like Google or some small upstart will eventually bring a viable alternative to the market. The monopoly exists because no one is willing to hedge their bets against Microsoft or Apple but Google may. Point is, it took 20 years after the first Model T car was rolled off the assembly line to give Henry Ford any competition.
You guys, Gates reliquished much of his power and basically retired from Microsoft years ago. He founded Microsoft, but currently he's pretty much holding the shorter end of the stick.
ok now if only the school actually gave us (i'd say most ppl that are not in SCS) a chance to sign up for a seat at the speech rather than just telling us the gym was full and the best we could get is to watch him on tv. couldnt they have anticipated a large crowd for this event and switched it to a larger place? good speech nonetheless...
As much as I hate to say it, it's not because less viruses have been written for it, it's because less hackers can find exploits in mac OS's. There ARE vulnerabilities, they're just not as simple to find as they are in PCs. Either way, with a good virus program for 30 bucks+, you'll be about as safe as a PC as you would be on a Mac. And it's not like you have to PAY for them, with all the pirated software sites up. Even if you did, you probably still would pay less than you would for a full Mac.
Ah yeah, it's quite easy as far as I remember. Probably using Vista? So if you type into the search box (start menu) "features", you may get the results of "Programs and Features" and/or "Turn Windows Features on or off". I can't quite remember because I exclusively use Windows7 now:P Actually, you can run "Disk Cleanup" and along the way, click on the tab or button called "Clean system files", then a tab "More Options"..ah well, something along those lines. It's really easy though.
Because that's what the manufacturers wanted to do. It's not necessarily his or Microsoft's fault. I think that if you ever happen to get a chance to look at or use the RTM of a Windows operating system, you may notice that there's no crap that companies like Dell, HP and Alienware stuff onto it. I suppose it's slightly Microsoft's fault with allowing this to happen, but what are you goin' to do, they just want to sell copied of Windows and forget about it.
no it can't.. dude most mac apps are work related or graphic processing software.. when honestly those are just a very small portion of the consumer's needs! Games, Server Software, Server Side languages, mac users miss out a SHIT load
Remember when Bill mentions in the video about his tapes that he left around in computer clubs and people copied them and how being emotional about that is wrong? Even if Gates took the Apple concept and it wasn't really his idea, it's as if he took an idea and brought it to a whole new level that was superior to Apple's designs. Your way of thinking discourages innovation. People shouldn't be so afraid of plagiarism and copying other's work because copying encourages invention.
not quite correct... Macs are less likely to get malware, because they have less viruses written for their OS, but PC's have slightly more measures taken to avoid getting viruses. Still Macs are far less likely to have something bad like this happen even with less protection
people just say vista sucks because thats what they hear from other people. I have vista with the newest updates and it runs just as good as xp. Now i have also ran windows 7 beta and that has run faster than both xp and vista.
The Carnegie-Mellon UNIX kernel is the most stable of all OS. Microsoft OS is the exact anti-thesis. If Apple will one day wake up and decides to hook up its UNIX-based OS with enterprise systems, Windows will need to re-frame itself.
Just to add another point. It's a sad commentary on current affairs if we can't even recognize the man for his selfless act in philanthropy by bringing in conjectures about his illicit gains. Truly the man is doing a wonderful thing with his post-Microsoft ventures and to tarnish that by bringing in questionable business practice is unjust. Any success story invariably includes a dark side. What business isn't ruthless or cold and calculated these days? It's about the bottom line.
It's mostly annoying because they're not used to the format. I was like that as well. But like I said, I prefer to save time and money, rather than getting something because I want it and want to play games or wtvr on it. I prefer career and education. But yea, it is a matter of opinion. Few of my friends don't like it.
macs are for people who don't like to push there computer to the limet, get the most out of gaming and don't want a complex system. PC's have more upgrade capabilities which can make it alot faster than a mac. and virus wise it depends on what anti virus you have and how your useing your PC. PC is more for the advanced computer user. Macs are really dumbed down and have there own vulnerabilities but not as much. xnorylazox that would be for basic PC componets not upgraded ones
How could anyone say this man doesn't donate? He donates millions every year, on top of that, when he dies, ALL of his remaining assets will go to charity.
If Apple made the first computer and are still nowhere near as successful as Microsoft, that demonstrates the awesomeness of Microsoft.

I'm from Argentina, Bill is one of the most important people in the history, my congratulation and respect him.
you just got a blank screen nimrod, you forgot to goto 20, you will get a syntax error in line 20 for no quotes.
His soul needs admiration for not what he is.. but for his untiring efforts to fullfil his dream of bringing a computer in the desk of every house.. and now its almost to an indispensable level of having computer in EVERY desk of each house.

Nice video. All the work the Gates foundation has done around the world is wonderful. Thanks Bill!
What happened the introduction by President Cohon?
The project with Space Radio in Romanian was finished for
Police in Romania.
Sorry but windows has encountered a problem and needs to close
This is the largest venue on campus... Where did you have in mind?
Bill Gates is obviously a genious. If he wasn't, he wouldn't be so freaking rich. Whoever says Bill Gates sucks is an idiot....seriously.
-mac user
He droped out of college; However, he did pretty well in his CMS courses: his speeches are amazing.
simply because is not about the OS. Is about the System Applications.
He invented a big software company when computing was a lot more than just Apples and PC's. MS was around and important long before Windows came about.
Bill Gates deserves all the money he got he is one of the Smartest men on earth and he deserves all the con grades for building Microsoft like he did he did a good job and if it wasn't for him we would not be were we r today most likely thanks for everything Bill Gates for everything you enjoy your Billions now

Steve Wozniak is a tech genius, Jobs is a businessman/marketer.
Haha. I couldn't get any because of my poor grades :(
Grid computing uses Linux. This relatively new virtualization is picking up MS Exchange is always a vm but it is not that critical application. The mission-critical ones are running under Solaris, AIX and in very expansive ways, Linux.
he has a deficiency with public speaking. He has been taking lessons all of his life.
wheres Steve jobs?
The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is a wonderful organization. You can harp on windows all you want but Jobs has yet to compete on the philanthropic level of Gates and probably never will.
the value didn't drop, the price did

what if im using a mac or linux?

wow, bill has a lot of fans in the audiance..
I bet he could imitate Kermit the Frog really well
its on apples site too...
ok now if only the school actually gave us (i'd say most ppl that are not in SCS) a chance to sign up for a seat at the speech rather than just telling us the gym was full and the best we could get is to watch him on tv. couldnt they have anticipated a large crowd for this event and switched it to a larger place?
good speech nonetheless...
whys it matter on who's behalf it is? The point is that your money is being donated. Wanting credit for it is doing nothing but being self centered.
As much as I hate to say it, it's not because less viruses have been written for it, it's because less hackers can find exploits in mac OS's. There ARE vulnerabilities, they're just not as simple to find as they are in PCs. Either way, with a good virus program for 30 bucks+, you'll be about as safe as a PC as you would be on a Mac. And it's not like you have to PAY for them, with all the pirated software sites up. Even if you did, you probably still would pay less than you would for a full Mac.
Steve Jobs is a technology genius, while Bill Gates is a marketing wizard.
He'd fit in pretty well in Austin. Keep Austin Weird.

He didnt drop out of school, he quit school.
"Windows has encountered a problem that you as a user probably unknowingly created and recommends you buy a Macintosh with training wheels."
no it can't.. dude most mac apps are work related or graphic processing software.. when honestly those are just a very small portion of the consumer's needs! Games, Server Software, Server Side languages, mac users miss out a SHIT load

Very nice tie ;-)

Bill ctrl+alt+del and start again!
FreeBSD is the place to be !
He set up a monopoly by going around the laws. That's why he didn't really get in trouble by gov't. He was smart.
The man with the world's deepest pockets...
xerox never cared about the gui. the big wigs cared about bottom lines. and gui was just a toy to them.
wait its a keynote? isn' that a apple product?
Wow. Does he even still work with Microsoft?
Are you aware of mac's tremendous flaws when it comes to anti-viral and anti-spyware software? What about iPod freezing?
A billionaire helping to make a difference--what's not to like? Go, Bill!!!
Wow, I wish I were a better public speaker; I suck at this activity. I have taken 2 CMS courses,fortunately, I passed them crawling D+
Respect to Bill Gates certainly!
are you like 12 years old?
people just say vista sucks because thats what they hear from other people. I have vista with the newest updates and it runs just as good as xp. Now i have also ran windows 7 beta and that has run faster than both xp and vista.

It exists all right. It's worth 15 beers at the VFW.
Just to add another point. It's a sad commentary on current affairs if we can't even recognize the man for his selfless act in philanthropy by bringing in conjectures about his illicit gains. Truly the man is doing a wonderful thing with his post-Microsoft ventures and to tarnish that by bringing in questionable business practice is unjust.

how much money do you have to pay for that "are you bored button?"
Its nice he spoke of his wife....
yeah apple did have a GUI system in 1984 ... THAT THEY STOLE FROM XEROX!
What did Steve Jobs steal from Microsoft?
In 1984, Apple had already GUI system. The mouse was introduced by Apple.
It's mostly annoying because they're not used to the format. I was like that as well.
But like I said, I prefer to save time and money, rather than getting something because I want it and want to play games or wtvr on it.

@MoldytoasterMedia with the amount of money he has that's impossible.
Mac's are cool but it is annoying sometimes and the programs just make it worse but there better(ex:all the adobe programs)
He tries to "make a difference" where no amount of money will fix the problems.
@toojohan it would of been less shitty of an OS if he wouldn't of stole it from the original creator.
wow he has society down to a calculation
bill is so awesome :D
macs are for people who don't like to push there computer to the limet, get the most out of gaming and don't want a complex system.

xnorylazox that would be for basic PC componets not upgraded ones
Actually, last tiem I checked, it was $45,000,000,000
Just the way I'm explaining it:P just (insert search engine's name here) "remove windows feature"
rofl. I gotta give props to you.
I don't get anymore because I switched to Macs. But it freezes like no tomorrow..pisses me off. lol.
Alright Bill.... how bout you build another one of these down the street at Pitt? I'll buy microsoft products again...
wow, he said school is important, but he dropped out of school
Fantastic!
man! $50,000,000,000 fortune. 11 digit. holy cow! just donate 1% to me then i can quit my job and i dont need to go to work for the rest of my life.
Of course he is : )
Well said.
- mac user
he pays very little or no taxes, thats why he sets up foundations.
hey bill i have your vista and it works perfect
Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close.
You have lost everything you have been working on because microsoft sucks.
Haha yea
...Which stole products from Xerox.
William Gates has $50 Billion, followed by Warren Buffett of $40 Billion.
Wasn't he worth 68B like 2 years ago?
He's worth 50 billion, then comes warren buffet with 40 billion
Esposo te amo
am i the only 1 who is mad that his vid gets to be a half hour long
haha. You realize that you are calling one of the worlds smartest men and greatest investor of all time a goon, right?
then save another 20 seconds by not typing that message.. pff
Sorry that he didn't have a fireworks display like Jobs would have.
so very true
Hello, my name is Bill Gates. I'm Kermit the Frog's stand in for today. :)
Windows 7 rocks!
17:58. 18:58-MELHOR, 22:48 MELHOR AINDA, 30:11
That's really small compared to what he has.
Society does get a benefit. :)
@toojohan can't make everything perfect
