Unpopular Opinion from the Netflix documentary
A very important observation. Bill Gates has been dressing the same way since childhood. lol ?
Melinda Gates is amazing. I’ve listened to her talk a few times. But you can only see how amazing she is as she represents the heart of the Gates Foundation. With the kinds of perspective she draws into discussions.
I see Bill’s love for Microsoft Surface devices. It’s evident in his having a Surface Studio on his desk, Surface Book on the road and Surface hub in the conference room.
