Quoted:
“Look, the skill of Bill Gates is he’s so brilliant at his detail that when he slips in the salesmanship, most of us think, ‘Oh my God, he must be right.’ … He talked on the one hand, and I loved it, he talked about [Windows] Vista [being] delayed as if delay was normal, and then he started mocking me for delaying PS3 [PlayStation 3].”
— Howard Stringer, Sony’s chief executive, in an interview with Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal.
