Bill Gates Speaks on Vista and the Future

The Microsoft chairman says that operating systems keep getting better and richer and that there are no shortages of radical things that will be happening in the next release. When asked if Microsoft will be back with a new OS in 2010-2011, Gates was confident enough to say, “Absolutely.” Gates said that the next version of Windows “will be more user-centric,” meaning that users should be able to move from PC to PC, whether or not it is their own, and still be able to access much of their own information by using Live Services, regardless of where they are.

While I believe Vista could be less buggy, it’s not hard to believe that it will sell well. Microsoft has owned the market for a while now, and it’s primarily the more advanced computer users that are moving away to other OS options. Either way, I am hoping to see Vista improve in the year to come and look forward to seeing what features the next version will include. In this interview, Gates was prompted a question regarding Apple TV ads and replied, “Does honesty matter in these things, or if you’re really cool, that means you get to be a lying person whenever you feel like it? There’s not even the slightest shred of truth to it.”
