Anything goes - IT Without Gates piper - 21.06.2006, 12:40 Uhr Titel: IT Without Gates
Bill Gates is leaving the $50 billion monopoly he established in order to work for a non-profit. It is to be a long goodbye.
Version 1.0 of Retiring BG was released on June 15th last week, but the implementation is not expected to become robust until version 2.1 which is scheduled for July 2008. Given Microsoft's recent track record it is doubtful whether such an early release date will be achieved and whether Retiring BG 2.1 (code name FTP) will have the same features that Microsoft is currently talking about. Commentators are already suggesting that July 2010 is a more realistic release date, while cynics are plumping for 2012.
Retiring BG 2.1 will include the following features:
* The Ballmer control interface will remain in place.
* CTO functionality will be added to the Ozzie wizard.
* Chairman functions will remain with Bill, but will be invoked by RPC.
A Microsoft spokesperson said, “Microsoft is very excited by the benefits that Retiring BG will bring to all our customers.” According to a closed source inside Microsoft, the code name FTP stands for Full-Time Philanthropist.

"Ozzie Wizard?" Hey there's an idea!!!!!
Ozzy Osbourne for M$ CEO !!!!!!
He'd sort 'em out. LMAO
"You want to do what?? Get the f@%# out of my office!!"
So if Billy-boy wants to do charitable things now I guess he'll be supporting the $100 pc project? Methinks Ozzy will be made the CEO before that happens.

Ozzy should be M$ CEO when you think about it. He is the prince of darkness afterall.
Remember the old joke.
How many Microsoft engineers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They just declare darkness the new standard.
