Bill Gates Visionary Track Record, Microsoft Internet History
The hosts critique Bill Gates' reputation as a visionary, noting that his 1995 book "The Road Ahead" initially failed to mention the internet. An anecdote describes a 1990s consulting gig at Microsoft where the company struggled to understand web architecture, eventually requiring outside help to run MSNBC's chat rooms on Linux. The segment concludes that Gates' current pandemic predictions are similarly flawed.
