Bill Gates bids a teary farewell to Microsoft ---Quote--- Redmond, Washington--Bill Gates said a teary goodbye on Friday to Microsoft, the software maker he built into the world's most valuable technology company based on the ambitious goal of placing a computer on every desk and in every home. He leaves Microsoft, which he co-founded with childhood friend Paul Allen in 1975, to focus on his philanthropic organization, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the world's largest charity, funded in part by his vast fortune. ---End Quote--- What do you think about it? ...

This article is part of a series on "creative capitalism," a term used by Bill Gates to describe how market incentives can be used to better aid the world's poor. The Huffington Post is reprinting a number of these articles in collaboration with creativecapitalismblog.com , an Internet publishing experiment run by Michael Kinsley and Conor Clarke. After several weeks, the articles -- along with the reader comments posted on this site and others -- will be edited into a book, to be published by Simon and Schuster in the fall of 2008. To read Gates' original speech on creative capitalism click here . To read all the contributions to this series click here . If you have questions or suggestions for this series please email Conor Clarke at conorjclarke [at] gmail [dot] com. Bill Gates' speech on creative capitalism was misguided in two important ways -- it made a false accusation about traditional capitalism, and it made extravagant claims for corporate philanthropy (AKA "creative capitalism"). The false accusation was that traditional capitalism fails to help the poor. It is certainly true that firms have much more incentive to meet the needs of rich people with money than to meet the needs of poor people without money. What Mr. Gates forgot was that as firms expand their production to meet more of rich people's needs, they hire more unskilled labor to do so -- driving up the incomes of poor people. As firms invest in machines to inc ... Source: www.freep.com --- 5 days ago

Read his e-mail rant here. Below is a short excerpt: Let me give you my experience from yesterday. I decided to download (Moviemaker) and buy the Digital Plus pack ... so I went to Microsoft.com. They have a download place so I went there. The first 5 times I used the site it timed out while trying to bring up the download page. Then after an 8 second delay I got it to come up. This site is so slow it is unusable. It wasn't in the top 5 so I expanded the other 45. These 45 names are totally confusing. These names make stuff like: C:\Documents and Settings\billg\My Documents\My Pictures seem clear. They are not filtered by the system ... and so many of the things are strange. I tried scoping to Media stuff. Still no moviemaker. I typed in movie. Nothing. I typed in movie maker. Nothing. So I gave up and sent mail to Amir saying - where is this Moviemaker download? Does it exist? So they told me that using the download page to download something was not something they anticipated. ... Source: www.associatedcontent.com --- 4 days ago

With Bill Gates stepping down from his day-to-day role of running Microsoft, he's been receiving a great number of accolades about the role he played in history of the PC. Much of it is deserved. But some of it definitely ignores the reality of how the PC industry evolved and the effect that Bill Gates and Microsoft had, for good and bad, on technology innovation. At the Microsoft farewell to Gates last week, successor Steve Ballmer is quoted as saying : "Bill was really there at the birth of the modern personal computer. Bill really designed the IBM PC. That's my non-revisionist history." Ballmer is unquestionably right about Gates being there from the earliest days with his implementation of Basic for the Altair 8800. And that was in and of itself a significant contribution. Nonetheless, Ballmer is definitely revising history when he says Gates READ MORE ...

And that was in and of itself a significant contribution. Nonetheless, Ballmer is definitely revising history when he says Gates was responsible for the IBM PC revolution. That honor belongs to the late Don Estridge of IBM. If Estridge had not taken the very radical step at that time of going with an open architecture for the IBM PC - with off-the-shelf and non-IBM software - and if he hadn't convinced his superiors at IBM to go along with the idea, computing history would be extremely different. As talented as Gates is, he might very well have played an important role anyway, but without Estridge it's unlikely Microsoft would have even gotten into the OS business. Once Micros ...

According to Allison Pearson , Bill Gates has 11 'tips for success' which he recently gave to some high school pupils - tips which they would never learn in school. They look bang on to me: RULE 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! RULE 2: The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. RULE 3: You will NOT make £30,000 a year right out of high school. RULE 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. RULE 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: opportunity. RULE 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes - learn from them. RULE 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills and listening to you talk about how cool you are. RULE 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. RULE 9: Life is not divided into terms. You don't get summers ... Source: blogpig.co.uk --- 4 days ago

This was posted earlier this morning by the illustrious Charles Torre over on Channel 9 . I found much of the topics discussed to be relevant to many of you such as multi-core processing, the future of Microsoft's model, and how you can get involved in a philanthropic capacity (even if you're not one of the richest people on the planet). Charles closed out his post with this, which I found very fitting: "Enjoy. This is a good one. Thank you again, Bill, for your support of C9 over the years, the incredible innovation you brought to market and the incredible generosity of your foundation." ...
