Bill Gates vient de dire aurevoir aux employés de Microsoft. Voici un résumé de cette matinée sur le blog de Todd Bishop ainsi qu’un extrait audio de celle-ci!

Quelques extraits:

Gates: "To steal a sentence from Steve: I love this company."

In Microsoft's early days, Gates explained, one reason to bring Ballmer aboard was to help with recruiting: "I hired my friends, which was a small set, and that wasn't going to get us there," he said, to laughter.

At one point, Gates referred to his e-mail rant that we published this week, and poked a little fun: "One of the newspapers had some e-mail that I sent about how maybe Windows could have been better at something, and they said, 'This is a shocking e-mail. Shocking!' And I said, 'What do you think I do all day? Sending an e-mail like that, that is my job. That's what it's all about. We're here to make things better."
