Anyhow, just because the man's left the building doesn't mean you can't take home a few of his fine products. Hit the contests below, they close up Sunday night.

I hate that fact I think that picture is... cool.
PREDICTION TIME!
Similar to Steve Jobs (No, not another fanboy comment), He will soon rejoin Microsoft again. For what reason I guess, I don't know.
Dude, seeing the outline of penis is not cool.
@hero
i wonder how many people scrolled back up to get a glimpse of his junk
lol, i scrolled up. hahahaha
I'll admit it, I scrolled up and saw the outline of his floppy disk.
That looks like one of those pictures Chris Hansen references when he's busting a pedo.
I'm sure you also enjoy watching "Ugly Betty", too. You go, girl. Air smooch. Toodles.
I fuckin scrolled up too. Why did you have to point that out?! :(
That's the photo that made Melinda fall in love at first sight.
I know, what a sexy beast!
is that a blue screen of death?
Yes, its version 1.0, which also explains why Bill is attempting to decapitate the camera man with a flying floppy disk. Have a great retirement Bill, and don't forget to sponsor my early retirement fund. I will send you a cake with your name (or favourite rapper) in return.
No, my friend. That's DOS early on. Certain DOS apps werent black and white. They were blue and white (microsoft colors =])
Wow, this is certainly the first picture I've seen where billyg looks normal and not geeky! Not that there's anything wrong with being a geek, look where it got him! :D
Aside from that, and even though I'm an apple man, I have a huge amount of respect for the man and wish him all the best in his retirement!
What a stud.
That look on his face is priceless. You know he's thinking, "Yes, ladies, I AM a software engineer."
lol @ 5.25" floppy disks.
I think Bill's packing another 5.25" floppy somewhere else.
today was my last day too (laid off) and I don't see any contests or wrap ups on me? :-(
sorry?
Is that the BSOD?
Sir William Gates, you are a great man. Without you, we would all be using Macs!!!
Not that that's a bad thing.
I have absolutely no problems with Windows Vista. It runs perfectly fine. Even for all the games I play. It's not a complete failure, like some believe. It was simply a step in the wrong direction.
But you didn't stray too far off the beaten path.
In fact, without you, computer OSs wouldn't be as robust as they are today. We can't really blame you for a perfectly fine OS like Vista.
So, after revolutionizing the computer world, I can safely say, you will be missed.
Have fun in your future endeavors,
MastrCake
actually if windows wasnt invented os/2 might of caught on .....
did i really just say that ?
@Mastercake
Now that's some serious comment.
Be safe Bill, and don't stop thinking.
That's so funny at times, when they make a complaint at someone they tend to mess up on "your/you're." Hilarious "your" a moron. ;)
opps wrong reply
Hey Andy, why don't you post your E-mail address.
You know, the E-mail that you probably access through Windows.
Then we can send you some "words of encouragement".
Fucking asshole.
You are a sorry person for getting upset about this you know, perhaps you need a break or something?
Yeah Bill, and that's coming from a person who doesn't even know when to use 'your' and 'you're'.
Wow. That's really lame.
Has anyone noticed that the engadget guys have been working really hard lately and are posting a lot more stuff than usual,,,
//yeah off topic but interesting nonetheless
he andy let me guess you se a mac.
well if it want for ole bill and steve coming to an agreement some years back your beloved apple would be gone by now .
If your a linux users i feel sorry for you, Linux will never catch on with out a easier way to install things, yeah yeah i know bout package manager but seriously do you think that average user will want to learn all that when they have been able to install things by just opening a .exe file or drag and droping into applications folder, until then Stfu Gtfo Gth along with all your fanboy extremist trolls that post here
Is that Toby Maguire?
Taking into account his career lately, I'd say Toby MacGuire may also be looking into retirement.
That gave me an idea. How bout Toby Maguire in a Bill Gates biopic?
Is that... Clak?!
For some reason i feel for a lost, even thought he isn't truly gone yet, it feels as if he was. I hope he does a great job at being a philanthropies, i can't see why not with all those billions. Fair well and lets hope all those acting, singing and playing guitar hero auditions are for reals. =)
That's so funny at times, when they make a complaint at someone they tend to mess up on "your/you're." Hilarious "your" a moron. ;)
Take care Bill. Take a break, you deserve one. But not a too long one; you still need to save the world again...yep, that is the Windows logo on the sky.
You tell me there's a cure for cancer? Next thing i know, you say there's a cure for aids, no?
@Andy
STFU! you are stupid.
Lol. Andy ended his sentence with a preposition.
Quick, put the earmuffs on the kids! or a blindfold.
Andy you suck...
Andy, you are a big fat smelly pu$$y.
Come to Leipzig and we can fight....Yeah! Lets fight about Microsoft. Grrrrr! Who's a big boy?
WAAAAAY better than the usual bikini girls on other tech sites!
c'mon, we gotta recognize it. we live in a gates world. everything works the way it does because of him. tv stations, companies, services, politics... absolutely everything uses a computer. and he did the first ones. you may like him or not, but this guy means greatness and achievement. i love living in a gates world. for those who don't, the least you can do is respect his success. it's easy to say "he's crap" when you're nothing more than a construction worker (no offense to those, i'm just making a point). even if you're a university professor, it'd be easy to criticise. this guy has reshaped the world. when you do that, give me a call and i'll accept your criticising, from equal to equal (you vs gates), in the meantime... it's just talking bullcrap.
and bill... you look HOT in that picture. put that in the windows 7 cover and i'll buy enough copies just cover a room, lol!! nah, seriously, i have something for geeks...
I like to spam people's inbox.... well not really.
Just Andy's.
Thats my Bill ! Dont worry Bill. I will always be there for Microsoft !
Bill you are an inspiration and those that mock you are envious.
and those that take the mac vs pc advertising as fact are ignorant.
