Here is a blog post by Joel Spolsky, with some insights about Bill Gates' reading. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/06/16.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/06/16.html The article already states Gates' reading habits. Sometimes they do put some videos on Gates' notes, (the one I saw was Bill interviewing Vaclav Smil) and it was largely consistent with review, enough that gave an impression, Bill Gates wrote the review. He may have people prettying up or other stuff, but there is no doubt that Bill Gates is responsible for a very significant portion of the output on Gates notes.
