Bill Gates and the MSX - 1983 Interview
Added 2023-03-31 00:36:42 +0000 UTChttps://shmuplations.com/billgates/
This vintage interview with Bill Gates was originally featured in the 8/83 issue of LOGiN magazine. It's largely an advertisement for the upcoming MSX, which would be released in Japan two months later, and Gates' vision of a "computer in every home." Gates also shares his thoughts on Atari and the video game landscape, differences between the Japanese and American computer markets, and the meaning behind the 'X' in MSX.
That wraps up March for us! Apologies for the lateness of these last couple updates--I was quite busy with the Taito Ray'z Collection work this month. On that note, a special thanks to our editor GSK for picking up the slack with the Shinobi and Dynamite Deka translations. We'll have a new voting thread soon and should be back to our normal update schedule for April.

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would! Very interesting to hear Gates talk about the future potential and ubiquity of computes, and how important friendly software is!
