One last chance to hear Bill Gates speak before he leaves the company he co-founded to head up his humanitarian efforts, drew tens of thousands of Microsoft employees to the company's annual meeting at Safeco Field in Seattle. Estimates of this year's attendance ranged from 20,000 to 35,000. A demo of Microsoft's revamp to its flagship Web search engine, which is expected to be launched later this month, also created a lot of buzz.

Nice picture on winvistaclub.

i believe he will continue to stay as chairman, but is (soon) retiring from day-to day-executive activities... and focus on his foundation and philanthropic activities.

From the heart.

Less known facts about Bill Gates

The best one is:
9. If Microsoft Windows' users can claim US$1 for every time their computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will be bankrupt in 3 years.

:D :D :D .

I would have been an idiot if not for Sir Gates. It was only after I started using computers I became this smart.

@entrana

I guess it will be Ballmer

Bill Gates said his family will inherit a very less of his fortune. So, I doubt whether his son can achieve that post.
