As I understood the accompanying text on the web page, the interview
text on this page *is* the original:

I find it also highly plausible that an interview with Bill Gates is
done in English in the first place.

If you follow the link on the page to the RISKS archive
(http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/17.44.html#subj11), you find the RISKS
submission by Klaus Brunnstein, from which the text was taken. He states
that this is indeed the raw interview transcription provided by the
interviewer -- "before translation and adaptation," although the "German
(not this English) version was authorized."

Dr. Klaus Brunnstein is professor at the University in Hamburg, Germany,
and is well-known and highly respected for his activities in computer
security and risks. While you may question the credibility of the
magazine FOCUS (I have no problem with that!), I take his word that this
text is original.
