Bill Gates, Jon Stewart combo underwhelms
you seem a bit optimistic on the next upgrade
It is a comedy show-- what would you expect? As Jon Stewart once said, "The show that leads into mine has puppets making prank phone calls."
Give Gates a break already, a tech conversation would have been lost the audience. He did fine and Vista is great. And besides, there are plenty of bad politicians in the administration right now to provide the fuel for great comedy on other shows.
I thought it was very funny. With all of the interviews Bill Gates is doing, there are many sources for detail on Vista.
you dont have much to work with personality wise with Gates. Surely his intellect is equal if not far superior to anyone, but as far as charisma, he's no Jobs.
If Gates, given 15 minutes, can't express to Stewart what's compelling about Vista, I don't think the problem lies with Stewart.
Either Gates is a terrible salesman or Vista is a terrible product. Maybe both. If I walked out of a sales meeting and told my boss, "Oh, I couldn't sell to them; they were Luddites, so I couldn't explain what's great about our product," I would be fired with extreme prejudice.
