Bill Gates’ last day at Microsoft

Microsoft makes funny mock videos. At keynotes at TechEd, PDC and others, there are usually hilarious “day in the life” videos starring Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer.

One of the funniest, from a couple of years ago, involved Bill dropping off a whole bunch of identical sweaters at a dry cleaner… and when he went to pick them up, one was missing. Oddly, the dry-cleaning clerk was wearing a sweater that looked just like Bill’s…

Sadly, the company generally doesn’t release those videos in electronic form. If you missed the showing, you missed it forever.

At Bill’s keynote last Sunday at the Consumer Electronics Show (which I didn’t attend), there was a video spoof of his forthcoming “last day at Microsoft.” Fortunately, the entire keynote was released on video. You can find it on many sites, including MSN Soapbox, but this one on TweakVista seems the clearest. It’s worth spending seven minutes to watch.
