Gates: WhatsApp very valuable Zuckerberg is wise

Microsoft, the founder of Bill Gates, said in a recent interview with The Rolling Stone magazine that Microsoft had also wanted to buy WhatsApp, although it was not sure it was worth 19 billion of dollars, but it was certain that the company was very valuable. Yes, Microsoft once wanted to buy it (WHATSAPP) ... I don't know if it's worth 19 billion dollars, but this company is really valuable. Bill Gates said. Gates gave the Facebook founder a great compliment when he was asked to compare and evaluate Mark Zuckerberg, the ultimate successful takeover of WhatsApp. Indeed (there are many similarities). We were all Harvard dropouts, and we all have a strong and stubborn understanding of what software can accomplish. I applaud his work in shaping the user interface of his product. He is more competent than me in the role of product manager. I am more like a programmer, more focused on the internal and architectural software. But, as you know, this is not a big difference. I started out as an architectural point of view, while Mark was from a product standpoint, and Steve Jobs was aesthetically based. Gates pointed out. Mr Gates thinks Mr Zuckerberg is wise to move aggressively to buy WhatsApp, although the price of the final deal is higher than expected. Gates was also asked about his attitude toward the prism-gate protagonist Snowden (Edward Snowden), who said he did not admire him personally.
