Engadget interview Bill Gates
Say whatever you want about Microsoft and/or Bill Gates, it cannot be argued that the company and its co-founder have had a truly monumental impact on the world as we know it. Bill Gates is retiring from his full-time position from Microsoft (he will remain Chairman) on July 1, 2008 to focus on philanthropy. On Sunday, he gave his twelfth, and final, CES keynote address. Over at our sister site, Engadget, Ryan Block had the opportunity to sit down with the man, the myth, the legend, and interview him about his future role at Microsoft, Vista, his foundation and Microsoft's overall role in the industry.It's a great interview with very candid and enlightening responses from the big man. We cannot imagine a world without Microsoft, and frankly, we wouldn't want to. For all the pot-shots we can take at Vista and corporate hegemony, Microsoft is still the industry leader and technology and software Bill Gates has helped create have changed the way we live and interact. OK, sappy time is over. Read the interview and get on with your daily tech snark.
