Bill Gates was recently interviewed on The Colbert Report, and he had some interesting things to say about Steve Jobs.
Colbert: People say “what a cool guy, what a cool guy Steve Jobs was.” You are out there saving the world and yet, you don’t have the cool factor, no offense, not the same turtleneck cool factor. As a man who has contributed a great deal, does it ever bug you that you are out there saving the world and yet he has the memories a cool guy?
Gates: He was always cooler than me.
Colbert: Yeah?
Gates: Yeah.
Colbert: Maybe saving the world will get cool.
Gates: It’s okay.
Colbert: Really? You don’t care?
Gates: No. He was brilliant. He had his own style, his own approach and mine is a little geekier than his was.
