Gates defends Windows Vista, sees challenges ahead
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Even at 52 years old, preparing to shift more of his attention away from the technology trade, Bill Gates can pack 'em in.
People waited in long lines Sunday to hear the Microsoft Corp. chairman make his last big address here at the Consumer Electronics Show. In an interview with the Seattle P-I before his speech, Gates talked about the future of technology and discussed his plans as he prepares to go part time at the company later this year.
He also defended Microsoft's year-old Windows Vista operating system from critics and credited Nintendo's Wii game console for its approachability -- saying he expects Microsoft to "match that and do better."
