    Today is officially the last working day for Bill Gates.:eek::D:)

    Bill, well, have a nice retirement even we know that you will not cease to control.

    Having brought a lot of blessings to mankind but also a lot of dispair to your competitors I wish you all the best.

    Bill, when you leave your job today, please don't take XP with you. Is it by coincidence that today is also the last day for XP to be shipped out?

    Having talked with David, one of your co-founders who has sold his shares at the beginning while you were still working in the garage, I must say he regreted it a lot and is not doing well now at all. Government agencies jobs and boiler rooms later didn't serve him well. I'm sure you know whom I mean now. Maybe you'll find some time to meet long lost friends again.

    Enjoy your life for the years to come.

    I'm disappointed he did not get a pie in the face on his last day! I remember after he was pied last time, all the cheesie games that were created.

    Surely some employees must have played a prank on him. Too bad we will never know what pranks were done.

    One of my favorite moments seeing Gates on video is when he was doing a seminar for Win98 and he got a fatal exception error. Seing him in front of all those people with the dreaded blue screen was priceless!

    I wish him and his wife all the best...

    His retirement was planned for two years, so not to create much of excitement today.
    As always, organized!

    He could have easily retired ages ago. Good on him for staying so long. I'm sure he'll have an ace retirement.
