#22Looking at the AMA, the "verification photo", and the posted video, I see nothing convincing me it's real. However, the responses seem non-trolly, but I'm still not convinced.

The people at Reddit are pretty careful about establishing identities. They certainly did for my two AMAs. Here's a link to my most recent AMA -- notice the bona-fides at the top:

#24I created a Reddit account simply for this moment.
Amazing. Bill has had his fair share of flak and has made some decisions in his career that I wouldn't approve of, and I am not particularly a fan of Microsoft, but his humility, modesty, and great work has made him one of my greatest inspirations.
He's a multi-billionaire with a heart that is worth so much more.

#25Wow, Bill Gates thinks his portrayal in Pirates of Silicon Valley was very accurate (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/18bhme/im_bill_gates_c...).
Even Woz had said that the film accurately portrayed all the personalities.
However, we should appreciate Bill for his honesty. He is not shown in good light in that movie.

He's promoted it on his verified Twitter account and his blog as well; I'd say it's the real deal.

#28They've already said it on Reddit; but, he has to be the fastest Reddit AMA that I've ever paid attention to. He's responding to so much, so quickly; and a lot of the questions don't seem like ones he could pass off to someone else, not to mention the wording, etc seems consistent throughout.
That's probably because he's one of the more computer-savvy people to do an AMA.

#29I really wish reddit had a better interface to see the questions and Bill's answers all at once without scrolling through random comments. Why hasn't reddit's AMA been surpassed by a dedicated AMA site with a user interface designed for AMA?
It takes a while for the scraper to kick in, but this is what you are looking for:

Oh thanks for posting that. It was pretty hard to search and find if someone had already asked that.
