As I write this, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has just delivered an emotional farewell speech to his employees for the last time in his full-time role. You can listen to an excerpt of the speech at Todd’s audio blog.
Although Google reigns over bloggers’ hearts, geeks go crazy when they hear Steve Jobs speak, diggers just can’t wait to bury a Microsoft story and tech enthusiasts don’t seem to stop when it comes to whining over vista, the truth is that the revolution started with Windows and it’s not Linux or a Mac but Windows which has reached millions of people around the world and touched the masses ( whether in pirated form or anything else ).
And the credit goes to the innovative mindset and some exceptional marketing and management skills of Bill Gates. If not for him, computers would have been still obscure and technology wouldn’t have been as easy as it seems today.
Bill Gates, you are a true legend and we’ll miss you. Thank you for being a pioneer in making computers almost ubiquitous !!
And those who are thinking what he’s gonna do now, well, watch this video !

Abhi,
We all can draw inspiration from this man who is visionary and so passionate about life. He has donated more money than anyone in the history of mankind. A true legend. Hats off Mr. Gates.

He will be missed. Hats off to him.
Lets not forget to thank Bill Gates for:
1. The Blue Screen of Death
2. Service packs every three months to fix the 800 bugs introduced in the last one
3. An Office suite that needs 18 gigs to write a letter
4. A crapload of vulnerabilites
5. Using letters for drives
6. Stealing from others and calling it “innovation”
7. Price gouging and other monopolistic practices
8. Converting the world to sloppy Microsoft standards
9. Corrupting the developer
10. Obstructing portability
… the list goes on.
Cheers Bill!
