Gates bids a teary adieu to Microsoft ..



Finally Gates bid a teary adieu to Microsoft . Gate's voice cracked when he mentioned Steve Ballmer , and all the "incredible people" at the company he founded, and you can hear the pride in his voice when he talked about how they changed the world. "You've made it so much fun for me, there won't be a day in my life that I'm not thinking about Microsoft and the great things it's doing. Thank you for making it the center of my life and so much fun."

Gates, who founded Microsoft at age 19, will now devote his time to philanthropic work.
Helping solve some of the world's health issues will now occupy Bill Gates's working hours as the IT icon retired from Microsoft on Friday. Two years ago Gates announced that he was leaving the software world to devote his time to the philanthropic organization he started with his wife in 2000. The group's work involves funding malaria and HIV research, among other causes. The task of running one of the most powerful companies now falls to CEO Steve Ballmer and chief software architect Ray Ozzie, among others. Gates will not completely exit Redmond, though.

He will continue serving as Microsoft chairman and dedicate one day a week to company business.


Now this guy mean real business !!
