Famous fine, but "most favourite tech personality"? Yeah, for the brickbats maybe...
However hard enlightened geeks try to deny it, Bill Gates is liked by a lot of people and many would be sorry to see him go.
Ofcourse that true. And did I tell few of my friends are active members of the "Osama Fan Club" as well...and they are in tears after what Bush did to him.
The point is, he might be liked by many people, but certainly not as a tech-person.
PS-Gates is anyway retiring only as the Chief Software Architect, and not as the chairman of Microsoft. Does anyone remember what good he did in that position anyway, as the "Chief Software Architect"?
Just because Gates will no longer be sitting in the Redmond facility does not mean that he is leaving Microsoft and that his "Era" has ended. He is merely shifting his focus from one area of the company to another.
Here is an idea.Bill Gates might have picked a few concepts from Indian philosophy that preaches daan punya .
All this charity might just be a penance for all the evils of Windows and Microsoft ;-)
He will still definately be influential in the company and I doubt if MS will ever give up its strategy of "Extend, Embrace and Extinguish"
