Bill Gates: Last Day at the Office

REALonomics is paying tribute to Bill Gates for his contributions to business with three video posts: (The Tom Brokaw Interview, Bill’s 1992 Predictions and this one, Bill’s Last Day at the Office). Bill’s last day was filled with emotion, feedback from well-wishers and a lot of humor from around the country.

Think of how your life and business is different because of this man and his vision. Like him or dislike him, there is no question that his business has transformed life on planet earth. It’s hard to even think of life with his software, a PC on the desk, MS WORD, MS EXCEL, PowerPoint and the rest of what Bill Gates delivered. Enjoy the YouTube video, posted here as a farewell tribute.
