Bill Gates retires soon

[bluedoggiant]

Just found out that Bill Gates will be retiring within the next couple months, i have to say, kinda sad, not to mention he's young, he was in this business ever since he was 17

Maybe he'll finally take it easy and get a mac.

Well, he deserves it. I really admire him.

He changed the world completely and even tho he has a lot of money, he seems to be a really simple and nice person.

he seems to be a really simple and nice person.

Unless you're doing business with him, and then the fangs come out.

I Jest. Good luck Bill!

Yeah, Bill seems OK. His company did change the world as well, and I wish him the best of luck.

If you havent seen it already, this is a pretty funny video about his last day that aired during his keynote at CES.

Haha, so it is true: Once you go geek, you never come back.

Funny video.

I hate him in business and love him in charity and international development. He is a force for profound positive change in the world, because he approaches development in an effective and intelligent way. I'm happy he'll commit more time for it, and I hope that the Nobel committee wakes up and gives him the Prize soon.

gates is probably a nice person overall, but i'm not so sure if i want to work with him (same can be said about SJ, i guess). time had an interview w/ gates back in '97, kinda interesting to look back what was happening ten years ago.

when is ballmer gonna retire?

The video was actually pretty funny, but it tried waaaaaay too hard, like a Very Special Episode of The Cosby Show, rather than a normally funny episode of 30 Rock or The Office.
It became all about how many A-listers you could cram into 10 minutes, the kind of thing that you might find at the Bar Mitzvah of a precocious kid with an incredibly well-connected Dad.
Wonder if anyone turned them down? Springsteen maybe?
A notable lack of professional athletes, which would have been a natural forum for geek gags.

Yeah, I've heard about his retirement too.
Well, great man, great ideas, great company that did a great contribution to our live!
I wonder if he can provide his company with adequate successor.
Does anybody know about possible successor?

I may not agree with everything he did in business but I have a lot of respect for Bill, both as a businessman and as a humanitarian.
