Bill Gates if finally retiring! from Money.cnn.com
There's a guy who's done alot over the years, and has been highly praised and criticized for it.
I remember people who hated Bill Gates for having such a big monopoly and controlling power over operating systems and computers. They called his company microslop etc etc etc. (this was more towards the days of Windows 95.)
Back then I said that Microsoft, like all companies would have it's peak, and then start into the maturing process. Back then I said it would take another 10-15 years.
So now Bill gates is retiring in 2008. good for him. He's worked hard.
What's he going to do next? Start knitting, and join the local lawn bowling club. I can't see Bill Gates retiring any time soon. That would put him in an early grave.
It's good that he's giving everybody 2 years notice. That's a nice thing to do.
Well Bill Gates... hats off to you. I hope the next leg is as fun as the first.
