A hilarious little video shown at CES 2008 chronicling Bill Gates last day as a head representative of Microsoft.

Self promotional? The guy is more famous than Jesus. Why would he need that?

The man has a whole generation of kids who think the cool thing to be is a Gates-hater in a knee-jerk sort of way; I can't blame him for trying to un-demonize himself!

Why is there always must be some PR trick involved? It's just a farewell gift video, shown at the CES trade show, which wasn't even intended for general public.

I find it rather improbable, that a man who spends billions on charities would task a self-ironic little video with improving his image.

I'm beginning to forget why we hate Bill Gates in the first place...? Besides the obvious fact that he has more money than us and God combined.

That was freakin' hilarious! Totally unexpected, and done with some surprising style.
