GeekWire: Bill Gates made many exceptional decisions while he was leading Microsoft to immense success. He did, however, make a few errors. Bill Gates chats with David Rubenstein, Harvard Campaign co-chair.

Speaking about Elon Musk's managerial style, Bill Gates claims that it is aggravating digital polarization.
He followed up by saying that people should 'have an open mind.'
“If you have less money than Elon, you should probably watch out,” says Gates.
Who would want a single button to reboot. I'd like to think of Crtl Alt Del as fail-safe, it helps avoid spoofing or phishing. It also keeps people from accidentally initiating a reboot. You'd have to strike those keys on purpose.
