Goodbye to Bill Gates on June 27... but it’s not goodbye forever!

 

Bill Gates retires from Microsoft this friday.  A lot has been said about his retirement and I know most people here at Microsoft will miss him.  Certainly since I have been here (18 years now) I have seen how his driven this company into one of the most life changing companies in the world. 

I have had the pleasure of meeting Bill on several occasions.  Its super impressive when he actually remembered my name last time I saw him.  He will leave a deep void in our leadership, but I cant imagine he will let go completely.  This is his baby and I am sure he will keep an eye out if anything goes wrong.  But until then, lets all let him change the world again this time with his amazing philanthropy. 

Fortune did a great slide review of Bill’s Microsoft career with the man himself narrating.  Check it here

Also you might be interesting in this great video.  It looks back to Bill's career building Microsoft and his vision in his new venture.

Enjoy
