A closer look at Bill Gates and Vista on the Daily Show


As we all know by now Bill Gates was at the Daily Show yesterday, In case you missed it here's the video Lets have a closer look at the Gates video and see how good or bad he did at the Daily Show.
An Overview

Is it unusual 5 years -to vista- because in the computer world 5 years ago people were using the abacus? Yea between 3 and 5 years... - yea….right….moving on. Pff 5 years-

Is this unbelievably special? What does the f12 button do? Start with f1 and work your way up –what about?... this is the best version of windows yet? This deserved such a better answer.

5 million people downloaded it? In essence they stole it? that’s the beta version.

What is a beta version will that in any way make them sterile? That’s the term we use when its not quite ready. – Ha just hilarious, I dont think he tried too hard to make this funny.

What if I don’t know how to use it? Call me

What’s your screensaver? is it the toasters? What’s your password? Is it Gates? do you have pets? Did u ever have a pet when you were younger? What was the pets name?
-He could have sold the improved security so much better. But ohh no this is what we get parental controls and layers?

Stewart: My parents can decide what websites I can go to? Goodbye porn!

When are we going to get jetpacks? Is the future what you thought? We are not there yet. –This was a clear set up for gates to go on and talk about Microsoft’s vision. Unfortunately it took him a while to catch on. In the end he saved it and confirmed that TV is where its at.

Then he gets up and leaves…Please Mr. gates we know you are a busy man and had to travel to Europe but you’re still trying to sell a product here. The least you could do was wait 5 seconds to finish the segment. That exit made you look like an fool. –yes. yes.. I know that those 5 seconds were probably worth millions of dollars but they would probably have been worth it, once you consider than on the other hand you have a marketing genius -Steve Jobs. So next time you are on the air don’t just make an appearance make it a great appearance.

Overall we give Windows Vista a 4/5 but Gates’ Keynotes or interviews still score really low.

Check out the the video and tell me what you think
EDIT: HAHA what really happened video

- Like what?...This is Bill Gates we're talking about here. You go up against Jon Stewart, and see if you don't get embarrassed. I'm sensing a little bias here. I smell rotten apples. Don't let jealousy ruin your blog Hector. Right Click on that, and see what happens...wait you can't do that can you?...Let Jon Stewart handle the comedy. Bill will take care of the Billions ok.
