The bet on Microsoft Windows Phone didn’t work out and so did you Bill Gates had to choose between competing mobile platforms. He revealed his position in a recent interview with CNBC and NY Times editor Andrew Ross Sorkin. This was Bill Gates’ first ever interview with the Clubhouse social network, which is currently only available to iOS.
Despite this, Bill Gates said that although he regularly plays with iOS devices, he prefers Android on his primary mobile device. “Some Android device manufacturers pre-install Microsoft software to make it easier for me. They are more flexible in how the software is connected to the system, which I finally got used to. But a lot of my friends use the iPhone, so it’s not pure. “
In the newsroom, we are guessing that the Gates uses one of Samsung’s flagship models as its primary phone, because it is Microsoft that works closely with the South Korean company. In addition, applications such as OneDrive or Office are pre-installed on Samsung smartphones.
During the interview, Clubhouse co-founder Paul Davidson joined the room, assuring Gates that the Android version of the app was his priority. You can then watch the whole interview at YouTube, the founder of Microsoft, further comments on, for example, Steve Jobs, the pandemic or climate protection in connection with his new book „How to Avoid a Climate Disaster“.
