I bet those little toy models represented all the companies he was planning to wipe out. (Intel, Sony, Google)

Hey Bill, GET YOUR SHIT AND GET OUT!

LOL jokes. Nice job Bill, nice. Thank you for donating to the improverished.

And Bill Gates leaving has nothing to do with HD-DVD. It's more or less been planned for 2 years now, and there have been rumblings about this since around 2003...

wickedcobra03 — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 19:56:26 MST

I think that that video made a good closing for Bill Gates career. I actually never thought it would happen. I mean the 90's and with Windows 95, Bill Gates was computers. I mean at that time, Apple was wallowing and Jobs hadn't even gotten his old job back(lol). But seriously, I never thought I would see this day come. Well, it looks like Jobs is the last man standing from these 2 giants...

Its almost sureal.

@sir_blazeAlot:

Er, really? HD-DVD having a rough time as a format is causing him to leave? It's been planned for some time...anyhow, MS is invested in both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray (as well as against them). They're hedging their bets pretty well. I'm sure Bill Gates, of all people, isn't losing much sleep over the format wars.

This is what too much time on gaming forums can do to a man...

PEOPLE! Look at this man one @sir_blazeAlot. This is what fanboy-class hate does to a human. Next time we feel ourselves taking something said about a console personally, remember this guy. You can disagree and respond to something intelligently or you can be come like this. Please let this guy be the last time... do it for the children.

Bill Gates retiring is the end of an era. He has done a lot for software and will probably do even more for humanity now. I wish him the best of luck and I'll miss his keynotes and speeches. Just a testament to his charisma, it always amazes me how many fellow geeks stop to listen when he is speaking. He's an awesome guy.

@sir_blazeAlot: looking for a short stay? this isn't even amusing as troll satire which I'm guessing your name references?
I'll be a little sad to see you go, though, because I myself enjoy a joke or two at Bono's expense, or rather the nationstate that is his ego.
But I must say your comments don't appear to add anything to this discussion, and as this is a pretty big news story available all over the web, please feel free and encouraged to bring your comedy stylings to one of those forums and not here.

If the writers had kept the bit subtle as it started out, ie; with him leaving his shit on top of his car and the star wars figures thing it would've come off as much better. The celebrities added nothing but a self-conscious cringe vibe to the whole thing.
