Bill Gates Envisions Life After Microsoft In Keynote Video
Posted by Benny Goldman at 2:17 PM on January 7, 2008
You may already know what Bill Gates had planned for his final CES keynote, but did you know about his plans for life after Microsoft? We just saw a video during his speech that shows what life may be like for the world's most famous CEO. His days are filled working on his six-pack with Matthew McConaughey, "Big Pimpin'" in the studio with Jay-Z, and calling every democrat in sight to see if they'll let him run for Vice President. It's too bad, when he called Barack Obama and said "It's Bill", Obama's first guess was "Shatner?". Check out the gallery for more stills from the video, and best of luck Bill, even if George Clooney won't play you in a movie.

I watched it live on MS's CES site - that thing was hilarious.

What would you expect the second richest man in the world to do after retiring?

cranking it 24/7 to webcasts of Steve Jobs dressed in all black turtlenecks delivering his keynotes at Macworld letting all the fanboys know that the time is now to invest in the future for all of humanity should think about the consequences of a diluted thought process on which no one has the answer for except Bill Gates who is currently "jacking it" to his vintage collection of levi's corduroy jeans made famous by Amanda.

@domz:
This is one thing that I wish every conference did. The live stream was excellent and my F5 button was happy to have a break as well. You should be able to watch every keynote live on the internet.. ahem APPLE ahem..

Yeah it was pretty cheesy. Gates was actually pretty funny. The most uncomfortable was the first girl to come out in that horrible looking pink spandex top thing.

The Space Balls reference is wonderful.... I thought the video was definately pretty funny. I'm glad to see him go though, he can work on the things he actually Wants to work on now (using his wealth for the betterment of society).

It's funny how he talked about web apps as a next iteration of technology when Microsoft was rather forced into it by Google and other companies migrating that direction first_ Must be easy to predict stufff after it already happened_
