nsane.forums Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates gave his thoughts on Windows 8 in a new interview and said his children have "never asked" to use Apple devices, despite a recent interview indicating otherwise. In a new interview with Fox Business Network today, Bill Gates called Windows 8 the the foundation for the future of operating systems at Microsoft and said his children dont ask to use Apple products. Thats what Bill Gates told Fox Business Network today in an interview that took place at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. When asked about ultrabooks, Gates implied Microsofts Surface tablet is a better choice as it solves the dilemma of whether users want a tablet or a laptop. He also called Windows 8 the companys future. The way they have built touch in, the way they have the application store its off to quite a good start, he said. You know, making sure they have more the best applications, more applications, you know theyre on a really good trajectory. Elsewhere in Gates interview with Fox Business Network, he said his children have never asked for Apple products, despite a recent interview to the contrary with his wife, Melinda. Well, they never asked, so I dont know [if they want to use Apple products], he said. It would be interesting if they did ask, but they love their Windows Phones and they love their Windows PCs. In an interview with U.K. radio station Radio 4 last month, Melinda Gates had said her children sometimes ask for Apple products but that she and her husband only allow Windows devices in their house. Additionally, in a 2010 interview with The New York Times Melinda Gates said, Nothing [Apple] crosses the threshold of our doorstep.

nIGHT Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Bill Gates, and Micro$oft, is still trapped in the past.Steve Job is dead. Haven't you heard of it? <_<I think Android OS, and some emerging OSes like firefox OS, is your biggest competitor now. :rolleyes:They are not in the desktop/laptop business yet but the products using it were the reason youhave a hard time selling new desktop/laptop/tablet hardwares.Average users and beginners are more attracted to these much cheaper Android products as it's moreeasier to use, lightweight and easier to maintain and repair. You're killing the desktop/laptop sector but you're going with its demise.Nobody likes your surface or windows phone products, so where is your place now without the windows desktop OS? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROMANTICGUY50 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Bill Gates can keep Windows 8 I am sticking with Windows 7 all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demoneye Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 like i said before , if u need to reinstall your OS go with W8 , but if u have already working W7 stay with it .... installing all from zero and configure all yours software up doesn't worth it .
