If that's the real Bill in the "personal trainer" scenes, Gates really needs to do some sort of regular exercise using weights. Older people (past fifty) tend to atrophy and this leads to further health problems.
So Bill, if you're reading this, which you probably aren't: do your self a favor. Get one of Jane Fonda's videos that includes weights and use it every day. She used to be really hot around the time when you released Windows 1.0.
Xerox showed the OS to Apple, and Apple developed their own OS based on what they saw. In fact, many of Xerox's workers quit their company and joined the first Macintosh development team.
Bill Gates tricked Steve Jobs into sending him a few Macintosh prototypes, which he used as the basis for Windows.
sure hes a good and generous guy but im kinda glad that hes leavin cuz under his control microsoft bought off rareware....the company that makes banjo kazooie,conker...etc games
A bit humorous. But way too scripted and corny. They must've spent a mint on the celeb guest appearances though. Reminiscent of the old days when they were hyping the craptastic Windows 95, which in that time didn't even have any apps. Same hoopla BS. I mean so WHAT! The guy got rich, off somebody elses ideas and all of sudden everybody loves him! Didn't you people ever suffer the Bluescreen of death! Or become victimized by the "i love you virus"? Gimme a break people.
this was great. people should just realize that this is brilliant and shares his with various charities throughout the world. beside if it wasn't for him there would be no windows.
He's rich for a reason, he is where he is for a reason. Just like all major brands got that large for a reason. What you have to think is - why did they get that popular?. Perhaps because they provided a product that everyone wanted?

Son of a bitch-he keeps saying they are so great for replacing broken xboxs but they only replace for the Red Ring of Death (there are many other issues with it). No wonder the fucker is the richest man alive and a boring cunt as well).
Hey Bill, To make your last day of retirement really challenging, I dare you to know what my microsoft hotmail address is without google's/youtube's help. You may try yahoo then drop me a line. Hint: I often reach 1800 points in yahoo chess. Best way of keeping your years sane! I'll buy you a Timmy double-double.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Geeze, he may be one of the richest men in the world, but you people do not have to drool over it. It is not like he accomplished anything more than any other businessman.
While I may dislike Mr. Gates, I am glad to see him donating his money to charity.
So whats your point? With out Henry ford we would still be driving cars. He did say Bill Gates made the computer industry what it is today but with out microsoft the computer industry would not be as huge as it is.
Are you seriously comparing Bill Gates to Henry Ford? 0_0
Apple revolutionized computer history.
Apple already started expanding the computer industry with the release of the Apple II. They could have done the same with the Macintosh without Windows being released a year later.
Actually mr.iknowitall Where would PC gaming be without Microsoft's Operating System , also compare the ratio of PC to mac users and you will see a vast difference.
Nothing. I am simply attempting to explain two things:
1. Bill Gates contributed a LOT LESS to computer software than people may think. At most, Microsoft helped invent the Help menu.
2. Money is not everything. The only reason most people really care about Bill Gates has to do with what is in his pocket ... or in the bank, if you want to be specific.
man hes one of the richest people. shouldnt he have a car specially made for himself only, i mean with all that money, u could own qurter of the world and he got that car?
bill gates is a simple man even though hes got a ton of money. unlike rappers or other businessmen who spend money like crazy, bills got a good head on his shoulders
yep, true - even though windows could be a lot better, he's trying to fix his mistakes by spending the money on all sorts of charities, I agree with that =)
hmmm....witty, funny commentary right next to an office window with blinds... like the hit show, the office, much? still ripping off the best new stuff....way to go microsoft
