Comments on: Marking Gates' last day--with videos

To mark Bill Gates' last day as a full-time employee of Microsoft, we'll have plenty of coverage all day. First up, videos from over the years.

Jeez. Why don't you start a cable channel dedicated to this. Bill Gates all day all the time! Talk about a CNET lovefest.

[Mister C]

A narcissistic show for the worlds biggest
megalomaniac. Not to worry, just like the
herpe(s) that he is, he must certainly return.

You know, it's quite funny to watch people worship a robber baron and prop him up as a tech visionary, when in actuality all Gates is really is a snake oil salesman of the highest order.

To drhowarddrfine, Mister C & Earl Benzar: If it wasn't for Bill Gates, the computer technology that you're using right now - regardless of what OS you're using right now - would not be possible. The growth of an entire software industry - which drove the computer hardware industry - is either directly or indirectly traced back to Bill Gates and his early vision of Personal Computing. To say otherwise is disingenuous, mean-spirited and belies your own bigotry. You three must have wall-posters of either "The Steve" or Mr. Thorvalds on your ceiling.

Thanks Bill. Thanks for helping me to make a living as a windows programmer.

Hi Bill, I thank you for everything your hard work has achieved, you have been the most important engine on our technology machinery and have impacted on everything since you started the journey. Now it is time for you to get off the bus and drive a plane. You choose SEARCH as your most important task. Go ahead, search for cure for the most terrible diseases affecting humanity, I wish you good luck and I thank you for creating the environment that lets me give my family a good life.
The world has given you so much, and you know you must return some of it. I dont know you, and you dont know me. I wish I could have the opportunity to have a good conversation with you, if not in this life, in the afterlife.
Good job, well done, good bye.
