I don’t expect Bill Gates will ever see this blog post but with Bill’s retirement from full time Microsoft operations I just wanted to offer a very sincere and heart felt “thank you very much Bill”.
Regardless of what anyone says of Bill or Microsoft, the face of computing is very different now than it would have been had he not been involved. I believe he has had far more impact on personal computers than any other person ever and possibly will ever as the impact and influence of Microsoft will continue for a very long time. I don’t think there is a person anywhere who can say that the influence and work of Microsoft hasn’t in some way impacted them and their use of computers today.
Some highlights
Thanks again Bill, have fun.
