My thoughts on…Bill Gates’ resignation from Microsoft
Bill Gates recently announced that he will resign from Microsoft. The 50-billion dollar man said that he would discontinue his day-to-day activities at the company in order to focus on his charity. News of this shocked the world. Why would anyone in their right mind give up the seat of power at the world’s largest company, especially since most people view him as a sort of real life Lex Luthor, bent on taking over the world.
Well FYI people. Bill Gates HAS taken over the world, in the technological sense anyway. Imagine if every PC in the world suddenly shut down. The world would be plunged in chaos. So if Mr. Gates wanted to go all diabolical and destroy the world, all he needed to do is plant a major bug in a new release of Windows (but the way Windows crashes, you have to wonder if that was his intent all along). Now that’s power. Plus he owns the world’s largest corporation, and as No. 2 of Austin Powers fame said, “there’s no world anymore, only corporations.”
But despite his lofty position, he doesn’t seem to have a megalomaniacal bone in his body. He is one of the world’s most philanthropic businessmen, pledging to donate most of his wealth to charity, leaving only a small fraction for his children. He has confessed that he didn’t want to become the richest man in the world, remains surprisingly humble despite his achievements and always wears a smile on his face. This goes against my cynical nature, but I truly believe that he’s a nice guy, and I fully support his decision to get off the corporate bandwagon to care for those less fortunate. He’s already conquered the world, and it wouldn’t make much sense to destroy the world, because it’s already a mess. So why not save the world?
It took me by surprise,I must admit.Nevertheless,I think it is a great thing he is doing.I wonder if I can get him to donate some money to my cause:)
I think this proves Bill Gates is a good person. I used to have my doubts (I’m a devoted Mac user too) but it seems he’s changed for the better.
Don’t trust him! He is trying to cement his power with some nefarious scheme. Its all a ploy! After he has done some well publicised charity work, he is going to run for the presidency! Mark my words!
When you are as rich as bill gates you csn afford to do any crazy thing that comes to your mind.
Giving to charity is a goo thing tough.
Did you know that your blog is worthed well over $9,000.00?
