Bill Gates Talks Surface, Windows 8, and All Things Microsoft

“Surface is an unbelievably great product,” says Bill Gates in an interview with Microsoft’s Steve Clayton. It’s not surprising that the former Microsoft CEO is excited about the Surface and other upcoming Windows products, but he has more than enthusiasm to share. Gates goes into some detail about his own experiences with the products.

Gates explains why he thinks touch is important and gets a plug in for speech input, as well, but he focuses on the importance of Windows 8 being available wherever you go. You won’t hear anything earth-shattering, but it’s an interesting five minutes. And if you plan to buy a Surface in the same color as Gates’ new Surface, it’s a must.
