Thank you Bill

Today was the last day for Bill Gates as a full time employee at Microsoft Corporation, and I’m sure it would have been an emotional day for almost everyone who had Bill as a friend, colleague, and as a mentor like Steve Ballmer.

I was watching them speak today via a webcast, and it was so fun to watch them talking about their older Harvard stories, and how they got together again. Steve was all the way telling that he just had belief on Bill’s vision, and he just believed him and stayed with Microsoft.

I’m sure you’d have already watched this video, but here is it – his last day video – it was created with fun, and character which typically shows what a person Bill is (with some fun note of course).

You can also watch some of his videos here.

For me as a Microsoftie it is a very hard feeling to think that Bill Gates is no more a full time employee, but he leaves his Microsoft Empire which was built from his vision and dream to some safe hands like Steve Ballmer, Ray Ozzie, Craig Mundie, et al.

I just wanted to say this to you Bill – “This world still needs your vision and dream to make some poor child just born in some remote corner of this world to get proper food, education, and healthy life. Good luck!”
