Today, as in 27 June, not Malaysia time, is Bill Gates’ retirement day. He is stepping down from daily works at Microsoft but he will still keep his position as Chairman of the Board Directors. It is said that he and his wife is going to concentrate on their Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in helping global healthcare and etc.

Watch this not-so-new video created about his retirement - starring Bill Gates himself. And take a look at his timeline created by Gizmodo.

Although a lot of Microsoft haters gonna cheer for this, I believe people will still appreciate what has he done for the computer industry. At least I do. You cannot deny that.

Bill Gates has been a very huge inspiration for me since I was young. Those days, when  people ask who is my idol, Bill Gates is my answer (Now, I’ll add Kevin Rose to the list, perhaps. :D ) He is just amazing.

Thank you, Bill Gates!

    When I heard about his retirement from Microsoft - the first negative thought came to me was - was it end of software technology!!! - but when I read his speech - there are amazing incredible people who have supported him - however the pinnaclle of the company has always been Bill Gates - he’s a genious, undoubted - will surely miss him…but one has to move one - wish you a goog luck with the work you will be doing……..

    When I heard about his retirement from Microsoft - its like a soul has left- his speech has been short direct and inspirational thanking the people who have supported him - however the pinnaclle of the company has always been Bill Gates - he’s a genious, undoubted - will surely miss him…but one has to move one - I think he should be considered as one of the important person in the coming century to revolunatise technology - will surely miss him……..
