| Re: Bill Gates last day at Microsoft I guess, he's figures he can't get any richer than he already is. So long Bill...

|  Re: Bill Gates last day at Microsoft You know, I'm guessing he's starting to see the beginning of the end. I think he's personally not happy with what's going on, not happy about vista, and is bailing out before M$ enters what I think are going to be some rather rough times ahead. I dunno, maybe windows 7 will be good enough for M$ to improve their reputaiton. I just see another version of vista, possibly with enough improvements to make it tolerable. It will be like windows 2000, and XP. History repeating itself again.  |

| Re: Bill Gates last day at Microsoft I agree with Deer Slayer. Bill has plenty of money and fame, so why stay on a ship that will only float and make little headway for the next 10 years before it starts to sink? He's a smart guy (who was also "there" at the right time and made the right connections) and knows when it is time to retire. |
