I don't think he said Windows sucks, I think he was saying whatever they make five years from now will make what we currently use look like garbage.

Any one who's ever listened to Gates knows this is how he likes to talk.

But, sadly even after five years Microsoft products usually don't get that but much better.

Not to over beat the question, but I think he said what any futuristic type programmer on a deadline would say: "if you give me more time I can make it better".

In the case of XP->Vista it seems they got worse.

"Did Bill Gates Just Say Vista Sucks?" would be more appropriate.

He was a programmer once. Because we all say that. Many many times.

We all know our "dog food" better.

I must say, he's still pretty damn awkward.

I guess he's a nerd.
