Bill Gates retires from Microsoft - Polidicks

If Bill Gates didn't exist, normal people wouldn't be using computers.

[QUOTE=RichyZ]I love microsoft, I just hate vista. XP is for the winners.[/QUOTE] Unless you have a widescreen monitor.

Bill was kind of a small nerdy fellow who did good for the company. I think he put Steve in charge for a last laugh before he leaves. Seriously Steve Ballmer is a nut job.

[QUOTE=DaveP]Bill Gates is a man I can respect. He has good intentions and a strong personal motivation that made him the richest man in the world, and then had the heart to be generous with his wealth. A billionaire to be proud of.[/QUOTE] I really didn't know what else to say so ^this. Also bring on the avatars, it's bound to happen sooner or later. R.I.P. Bill Gates I thought you'd be providing bad customer service forever.

[QUOTE=DaveP]Bill Gates is a man I can respect.

Bill Gates is the third richest human in the world. 1. Warren Buffett 2. Carlos Slim Helu 3. William Gates III Forbes, :excited: Wow, That Warren Buffet guy self-earned his fortune. Wow, just wow.

What's with all the Bill hate? All he did was create a very succesful psuedo-monapoly that fuels our gaming needs He's rather awesome

[QUOTE=smidge146]Well I say "thank you bill gates for windows!" and computers in general.[/QUOTE] In the end, what would we all do without windows, I can't even imagine it. So yeah! thank you Gates!

[QUOTE=LeYang]He was somewhat working as a Spokesman for Microsoft, he wasn't a CEO, that's Steve's job.[/QUOTE] Oh, hehe, I thought you said Steve Jobs :v:

I hadn't seen this.

[QUOTE=sboyy;10545139] This was quite the shock for me, I thought he would be co-Chairman for Microsoft for at least another few years, but I suppose he's got enough money to last him for quite a while and to give to charity.:v:[/QUOTE] he's got enough money to last the american population for a while

This is old as Hell. I remember from last year or so when Bill left.

[QUOTE=rifles;10546199]microsoft is an awesome company believe it or not[/QUOTE] No it's not. It's a god damn monopoly with broken products. Windows, full of holes. 360 full of errors. Zune, overpriced and lacking compatibility. Their mouses are cool though.
