Bill Gates to retire this week!
After retiring, Gates will remain chairman of the Microsoft board of directors and its largest shareholder.
Still, Gates's bespectacled nerdish visage is an integral part of Microsoft's image and his departure is symbolic, according to analysts.

Re: Bill Gates to retire this week!
Goodbye Microsoft.
Bill Gates was THE man behind all success of Microsoft.
Since Bill went away as CEO, Microsoft became Micro$oft.
Now retiring means a REAL goodbye to the good old happy and prospering Microsoft everyone of us once knew.
Happy Retirement Sir!

Re: Bill Gates to retire this week!
he is a monopolist besides people revering him  after almost 2 decades we havent yet freed from his corporation's products like Window$ ,office etc .window$ being the current monopoly ,software devels are concentrating on this platform ,underestimating the power of other platforms especially Free Open Source Software or Swathanthra Software

Re: Bill Gates to retire this week!
Now that he will be retired, He can devote more time and money for improving healthcare worldwide with the help of Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
May he achieve the same success like he did with MS.

Re: Bill Gates to retire this week!
I may not be the biggest fan of MS, I may not agree with a lot of his early policies, but still I have to acknowledge his contributions. He is a legend. There is no denying that.

Re: Bill Gates to retire this week!
ppl may bad mouth Bill gates and microsoft as much as they want....but just for one second has anyone given a thought to the fact that they may not have been able to raise their voices so much if bill and microsoft hadnt created the means of doing so?
today people say..go open source with software, use linux which is free etc etc.....but what i believe is at the core of all these is microsoft.
this is not meant to belittle linux or open source, but rather in a way that the idea behind all this stuff came from bill gates and microsoft.
Bill Gates is a legend! long live Bill Gates!
some intresting funny/serious videos on bill gates's retirement.

Re: Bill Gates to retire this week!
Billy G is the dude! I don't think anyone hates him out here. Without him the whole computer industry (and by that, the world) would have been a very different landscape.

How does it feel to have a Bill Gates smiling on your desktop that runs pirated Windows
