In an interview with FOX Business Network, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett offered some praise for Apple and some information on Microsoft's tablet plans.
Gates on Microsofts tablet projects:
Microsoft has a lot of different tablet projects that we're pursuing. We think that work with the pen that Microsoft pioneered will become a mainstream for students. It can give you a device that you can not only read, but also create documents at the same time.
On Apple:
Buffett: Steve Jobs has done a terrific job. And there will be companies that excel. And occasionally they will excel because of luck, but usually they excel because of brains.
Gates: Yes, I think both in general and in the specific, Apple's done a great job.
Recently Microsoft killed the Courier Tablet project so its good to know they're pursuing other projects.
