Down Goes Frazia Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 pretty big news last night here in seattle. After 30 years...Gates announced that over the next two years he's gonna "phase himself out of microsoft completely" to devote his full time to the Gates foundation. It's the wealthiest philanthropic no profit org. on the planet and does amazing things for humanity across the world. "what comes with great wealth is great responsibility" - good words by him. interesting to see his design successor.... Ray Ozzie quite the credentials for sure. they said on the news last night that Gates has been trying to get him for 20 years. I guess he didn't want to take a back seat to anyone.

whitem0nkey Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I know a lot of people like to attack Microsoft, but Bill is a classy guy. He understands what takes priority in life with his generous actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogohawk Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Now why didn't I think to buy that 100 shares of Microsoft when I was using that floppy disk that said MS-DOS 1.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylive5 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Now why didn't I think to buy that 100 shares of Microsoft when I was using that floppy disk that said MS-DOS 1.0? Fortunately, my wife did. We tried to get a license plate saying 'TKS BILL' but it was taken.... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
