Bill Gates is brilliant at creating organizations that leverage the intelligence and skill of some of the best and brightest minds. With Microsoft, he leveraged his relationship with IBM, and by extension the clones that became known as PC’s, to dominate the computer industry. It is his problem solving style to set priorities, gather resources and get the best minds. He identifies and consolidates the best ideas developed by other people. The world always benefits when problem solvers go at problems with all the resources at their disposal, especially when the problems are the chronic, uneconomic problems such as the ones Bill and Melinda Gates have chosen to try to solve.

That is a great interview. I am not a particular fan of Microsoft, to say the least. But Bill Gates is worth respect for his business success and now his foundation’s great work. And what an interview we have here!

In reply to Wendy Buchanan. I'm just sad to see how Microsoft's attitude has shifted nowadays. There isn't much left of their initial pioneer spirit and pursuit for novelty. Nevertheless, it's always a pleasure to hear what Bill has to say, and I surely hope to see some major change of direction in the company's policy in the next few years.

You’re right Andy, it’s not only thier vision and skill that matter but also their attitude, persistence and hard-work that make these guys such great IT role models. It makes you believe that with proper motivation you can achieve success no matter where you start. Definitely a wonderful source of inspiration for all young people who begin their adventure with the computer science market.

You’ve got to respect the likes of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, these guys are masters in their own environment. I once read that Bill Gates wasn’t giving any of his billions to his kids, they would have to work for a living like every other regular Joe…good on him! :)

True, Bill Gates was and always will be a legend and a brilliant source of inspiration in the world of IT. The reality of current information technology has changed a lot since Gates' hayday, but still his attitude and motivation are reflected in current success stories on the web.

It’s hard not to respect that man for his great ideas. Sure, his attitude towards open source and online application is a bit biased and old-fashioned, but still, his influence on the world of IT is insurpassable. As always, a great pleasure to listen to this guy!

My respect and admiration for Mr. Gates is enormous. I truly believe and agree, from a logical as well as an optimistic perspective, that a vast majority of our world’s current major problems can and will be solved in the very near future. I also hold true to the belief that this positive outcome can only be reached if the knowledge, wisdom, advice and inspiration of such organizations as TED reaches the general masses. It is in the hearts, minds and spirits of these, often profoundly ignorant and brain-washed, people that we will find the key to our success. I am presently twenty three years old and I dearly hope and believe that my grandchildren will live in a far better world than the one we see around us today. My gratitude and appreciation for TED is nearly overwhelming. Thank you all and godspeed.

我想成功的人大部份都具備著十足的幽默感! 比爾蓋茲就是其中之一.
I think most of the successful people have great sense of humor and Mr. Gates is one of them!
Very good website. Thanks!

In his TED speech, Bill Gates showed a graph indicating that a Masters’ degree does not make a person into a better teacher. I think that point should be modified to say a Masters’ degree in education. Education courses are often useless except when they are very ideological, in which case they are destructive.

Mr. Gates also criticized school systems in which principals are allowed in classrooms only infrequently. If you want to improve teachers, do not depend on principals. Principals have Ph.D.’s in education; what could be worse?. If you want to improve teachers, have successful teachers to visit classrooms.

We hear a lot about the success of KIPP. I am familiar with one KIPP school in NYC. Its program pretty much crushes the teachers with the work load. What is clear from KIPP and other schools that are successful with at-risk children is that the schools are very expensive. Education can’t be done on the cheap for any students, but especially for those who are at risk.

I echo the comments below. The part where you bring out the Mac was a bit funny and uncomfortable, Chris. In all due fairness though, I would have been a little nervous too.God knows I do clumsy things when I get nervous, too.

I have to say, I’m not a fan of Microsoft at all…however, I am a big fan of Mr. Gates and all he has done for the world. In my 10-15 words, “Mr. Gates is a man who changed the world not once… but twice.”

I really enjoyed the TED talk by Bill Gates, however, I felt that the interview which followed by Chris Anderson was awful and rather humiliating for Mr. Gates. I’m not sure whether or not Mr. Anderson’s actions were due to nervousness or ignorance, but his lack of attention during more than one of Gates’ answers (he pulled out his Mac and quite literally cut off the end of Bill’s response) and his awkward questions (how do you want to be remembered?) were a disappointing ending to a fantastic presentation.

Could you turn the volume of the music down and could Bill help me with my new found deafness?
