NewsWeek interviewed Bill Gates about Vista, its reception, and Apple, among other things. On the complaint that some of the features in Vista appear to come from the Mac, Gates had this to say:
“You can go through and look at who showed any of these things first, if you care about the facts. If you just want to say, ‘Steve Jobs invented the world, and then the rest of us came along,’ that’s fine. If you’re interested, [Vista development chief] Jim Allchin will be glad to educate you feature by feature what the truth is. I mean, it’s fascinating, maybe we shouldn’t have showed so publicly the stuff we were doing, because we knew how long the new security base was going to take us to get done. Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine.”

Blogger’s Note: Yeah, you read that right. Gates dares someone to exploit Vista. Looks like someone is off his meds. I don’t know why he didn’t just dare Osama to drive a plane into the Microsoft campus while he was at it. My guess is that Vista users are going to be paying out the ass for that statement in the months ahead.
