Sad that he's retiring, but I guess he wasn't even doing all that much recently. Still scares me that Balmer has control... lolz. But w/e, and btw, he looks like a nub in that pic.

He pretty much built a monopoly.

I had thought Apple was doing pretty good until I entered one of their stores the other day.
I got on a mac computer, and it had MICROSOFT WORD!!!

I couldn't believe it.

/bow to Bill Gates

Hah, both videos were awesome.

Bill, you'll definitely be missed. You made my childhood (and present) life (or lack, thereof) enjoyable.

Those are some weird videos... I thought his four words were going to be "Bow down to me!" or something along those lines..
