Ballmer is like draft two of the evil side of gates. A more pure, stronger, evil clone.

“Ballmer is to Gates as Cheney is to Bush.”Sorry wrong analogy. Gates was quite capable of evil all on his own, long before Ballmer turned up.Ballmer is just the incompetent apprentice, or if you like the mafiaosi hanging with the nerds (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8To-6VIJZRE)

I don’t think he is that evil. But Ballmer is to Gates as Cheney is to Bush.Idiot puppets controlled by a truly evil puppet masters.

Whilst his charitable work is commendable, I’m not sure that any amount of it can undo the evil he’s wrought in people’s lives.

In most companies when the CEO retires he/she stays on as a chairman of the board. He’s just no longer CEO.

Here’s from today’s NYT:Bill Gates is retiring, sort of. He is still only 52, and he is going off to spend more time guiding the world?s richest philanthropy, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He will still be Microsoft?s chairman and largest shareholder, but Friday is his last day as a full-time worker at the software giant, marking the unofficial end of his career as a business leader.

You’d have a hard time leaving too if you were raking that kind of dough! Well it’s good to see him putting his money to good noble use now

MRW. I personally saw Bill Gates pack his shit and leave in January. Pay attention.

Actually, he announced at least the general timeframe a year or two before that, I think. Still, in January, the story was that he was retiring in July, so I don’t get the current confusion.
