Bill Gates wipes away tears at Microsoft farewell

Filed under:

It looks like there more than a few misty eyes around Microsoft"s Redmond campus today, where even the man of the day himself wiped away tears as he bid his official farewell to the company. According to Reuters, Gates was joined on stage at the employee-only event by CEO Steve Ballmer, who reportedly got choked up himself as he heaped praise on Gates, saying that "there"s no way to say thanks to Bill. Bill"s the founder. Bill"s the leader," adding that, "this is Bill"s baby." Ballmer also talked about how he had contemplated leaving Microsoft just a month after joining the company, only to have Gates persuade him to stay by saying "You don"t get it. You don"t get it. We are going to put a computer on every desk and in every home." Say what you will about some of his predicitions, but he was sure on the mark with that one.
