Bill Gates last full day at Microsoft
There is wonderful coverage all over the Web today as this is Bill Gates last day at Microsoft. For those us of who have not been fans of Microsoft over the years, we can only take our hats off for what he has accomplished in both technology and philanthropy.
As engadget so aptly put it, "the end of an era; a fresh beginning; good riddance -- whatever you think of Bill's final day at Microsoft, it's impossible to deny that his tenure there helped forever re-shape not just technology, but the world as we know it".
My favorite coverage though is on Gizmodo, who has been throwing Bill Gates retirement parties all week, filled with links to interviews, parodies, company insight and well wishing.
Above, a fun 60 Minutes interview where Bill Gates tells us how easy school was while chowing down on burgers at his favorite fast food joint. But my personal favorite is this one, where on another 60 Minutes show, he talks of his love for his wife Melinda in a Valentine's Day Special. A side not often seen.
