Bill Gates retiring!!!

so the day has come. Microsoft co founder and one of the worlds former most richest man is retiring. in his last keynote at CES (consumer electronics show) he announced that it would be his last address.

throughout the world people have had a love hate relationship with him. guess his riches bought him more enemies than friends. no matter how buggy vista be or how many times apple claims vista to be a copy cat of OS X, bill gates in steve jobs own words was the first to make an industry out of software. Bill even wrote software for one of the versions of Mac in its initial days.

also at his last keynote he launched a video on what his last day would be like. it is really hilarious and features many great stars from hollywood and many politicians of america. Hats off to a great man and hopefully microsoft continues and improves in doing a great job.



you can also view slightly lengthier and better quality version of the video here as well.

So long Bill.

MAC Vs PC

i presume that all of you have seen the many ads released on youtube titled MAC vs PC. if you haven't you should check it out. they are techy and real funny. i am not gonna write about my opinion about what is better, whether a MAC or a PC. i use products of both Apple and Microsoft in my day to day life. ipod is plugged in most of the time when i am not working... and Microsoft is my bread and butter. i live most of my time building applications which run on Microsoft operating systems and using Microsoft Tools and technologies.

so what would happen if Steve Jobs Chief executive of Apple and Bill Gates Microsoft co founder share the same stage. well if you are interested just follow the link below "When Bill Met Steve.."
