This video was recorded on August 31, prior to Mr. Allen’s passing, and had previously been scheduled for release this week. Bill Gates and WIRED dedicate this video to him.
Bill Gates released the following statement about his friend and colleague on October 15:
“I am heartbroken by the passing of one of my oldest and dearest friends, Paul Allen. From our early days together at Lakeside School, through our partnership in the creation of Microsoft, to some of our joint philanthropic projects over the years, Paul was a true partner and dear friend. Personal computing would not have existed without him.
“But Paul wasn’t content with starting one company. He channeled his intellect and compassion into a second act focused on improving people’s lives and strengthening communities in Seattle and around the world. He was fond of saying, ‘If it has the potential to do good, then we should do it.’ That’s the kind of person he was.
“Paul loved life and those around him, and we all cherished him in return. He deserved much more time, but his contributions to the world of technology and philanthropy will live on for generations to come. I will miss him tremendously.”
--Bill Gates, Co-Founder of Microsoft and Co-Chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

Bill Gates... the man that showed the world how awesome it is to be a "nerd."
-
CAN YOU NOT CHANGE CAMERA ANGLES EVERY 10 SECONDS
-
first time when I watched this I didn't know how to write print("hello world"); Now I already released a game using unity! :D Edit: woah, didn't expect such attention. I'm preparing a video with my progress so far (a lot happened in 1 year of development), stay tuned!
-
Just went to comment section to see if there are any about 5G and microchips. Found a few actually :D
-
"... I miss the elegance of writing super tight code ... " -- one of the reasons I admire the guy so much.
-
Guys, I don't know why but I have a really strong feeling that this video was recorded in August and previously scheduled to be released this week.
-
Am I the only one who got shocked when he say a 2 week vacation is quite a extreme?
-
6:11 "First long vacation. 2 week vacation......Which seemed quite extreme" Crazy how I'd think that's not long enough. I need to acquire that mindset if I expect my projects to succeed.
-
Respect this guy. And RIP Paul Allen
-
This guy is pure intelligence. We should have politicians like him. Bill Gates for president.
-
Being humble is everything... to me.

I remember when 95 came out. It was the beginning of the modern computer age in many ways (and also a big improvement over Windows 3.1, which I had frustratingly dealt with for so long, with 'blue screens of death' basically every half hour-95 still had this also, but was a huge improvement. But to be fair to MS, 3.1 was basically just a shell running on top of MS-DOS, and so was 95 at first, but was way better. I've been using Linux for a long time now, but Bill is a legend, and his contributions to human history can't be overstated!
-
This man was writing complicated programs at the age of 13!
-
Bill Gates is a genuine, whole-hearted, good guy. He doesn't boast or brag about his wealth and he seems completely down to earth. Celebrities should be like him.
-
Had seen a lot of science fiction, and so he knew a lot more than I did...LMFAO
-
“I didn’t believe in weekends or vacations” Now that’s the key to success ladies and gentlemen.
