Am I the only one who noticed the Weather for dummies? I wonder why he was interested on it.

a lot of science books (chemistry, weather, etc), but no MSPress book and no computer literature?
What a strange format. I'm not a regular Reddit visitor so maybe I just don't "get it" but it seems like the top level questions for Gates are pretty intelligent, all questions I'd like to ask him (well, almost all--I don't get the condom one), and the responses to those questions are mostly snide, petty, and stupid.
Reddit is a great opportunity to be more direct and poignant (always in an educated and intelligent manner).
For the people that don't know, the general "consensus" on reddit is that Bill Gates is awesome and Steve Jobs sucked, of course it's oversimplified but you see it around.
I for one would have liked to know if now with hindsight, he sees Microsoft's actions in the past over aggressive maybe hindering the progress of open source and stuff like that.
I don't want to accuse him of anything, I just would like to know his perspective on some of the controversial topics in which he is involved.
I can read in 150 thousand traditional interviews where does he see the future of technology and how exited he is about the cloud.
They are always AMAIWAAIC anyway. (Ask me anything, I will answer as I choose). If there were pre-voted by community questions, and rules requiring answers by the AMAer, now that would be interesting.
