After viewing a nice interview between Bill Gates and David Rubenstein of Harvard that you'll find here, I realized that everyone publishing the interview completely buried the lead.
All the announcements talked about Gates acknowledging that the key sequence CTRL-ALT-DELETE, was a mistake. They shouldn't have required that sequence to start up a computer.
That was the most important thing they got out of a nearly hour-long interview. Really?
Personally, I was much more interested in the evolution of the intense, driven 20-something computer software fanatic into a 50-something self-effacing philanthropist. You hear stories from the man who casually refers to his friends Warren, Paul and Steve and how those real-life tales changed his life and the lives we all lead.
You seen the consistent playful byplay Gates had with Rubenstein and it brings a previously unsuspected humanity to the myth that time and wealth helped create.
