So Bill Gates's is spending his last day in his office today before stepping down at the head of Microsoft - lets hope he remembers to shut his Windows! I know poor a very gag.
You have to be impressed by the media interest in this story if nothing else. It was the second item on Radio 4's Today programme news headlines this morning and it has been plastered all over the internet ever since Bill anounced he was to step down.
The irony of this, I guess, is that Bill Gates's would probably happily swap his online popularity as a story himself, if the company he founded 25 years ago, could get a share of online revenues and business.

ComputerWeekly.com has devoted a share of its coverage to the story too... and if you want a really informed view of Bill Gates's legacy and the future challenges for Microsoft, then our two part video with the Guardian's Jack Scofield is a good place to start.
