Comments on: Most in industry letting Gates go quietly

News that Microsoft's chair plans to step down from a day-to-day role caused barely a ripple in the tech world.

Admiration and Jealousy

I am in utter admiration and jealousy of a man who has achieved so much. He was the chief architect of this era and his influence/direction is affecting all of us as we operate a pc today. In the end, however, I truly respected the man he is becoming. His charitable work and his desire to help humanity is a great quality. I truly believe that at the end of the day, he did a great job as the founder of Microsoft and he will do an even better job as an unheralded revolutionary in the management and administration of global charitable ventures. I did not always like his company or their methods but when one reflects on it, it is easy to see how we might...just might...be just as competitive as he was with his rivals. I wish him and Melinda the best in their new venture.

Oh puhleese, I'm going to be sick...

Gates is a convicted criminal. A thief. He deserves no praise. He still
steal more each day than he gives.

Ridiculous.

He's no visionary. He's a money maker/business man.
This guy was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
He never worked hard at creating software really.. just stealing
others ideas.

I can't believe the crud this article conveys of Bill Gates.

I certainly hope all this talk if him as an Innovator is not written
in the history books. Most of it is a complete false hood.
