Bill Gates Explains Why Microsoft Had To Punch Its PC Partners In The Guts

JMH · Jul 6, 2012

Bill Gates thinks Microsoft was right to build its own tablets and that Windows 8 is going to kill the traditional PC.

Gates was a guest on Charlie Rose last night where he talked about Microsoft's decision to make its own tablet.

Rose asked Gates if he thought Jobs was right. Should Microsoft have followed the Apple model with the hardware/software integration right off the bat?

Remember, Microsoft recently punched its partners in the gut by announcing two Microsoft built Surface tablets. These will compete with tablets produced by HP, Dell, Asus, Lenovo and the like -- and Microsoft is reportedly charging its partners a bundle for the Windows 8 operating system, too.
