Gates speech at CES 2008 may be the last

Officials responsible for the annual Consumer Electronics Show have recently unveiled a list of the powerful IT worlds, whose welcome speeches will open the upcoming CES. Among other famous characters, on January 6, 2008, of course, Bill Gates himself will come on the scene. This will be the tenth and, probably, the last speech of the chairman of the Microsoft Corporation to the visitors of the exhibition.

Speech to the CES audience has become a kind of tradition for Gates since 1998: since then, the head of Microsoft has annually opened the consumer electronics exhibition with his welcoming speech, having missed it only once - in 1999.

According to some sources, the resignation of Mr. Gates will take place next year, but nobody knows the exact date yet. It is curious that “from the big sport” Bill Gates will leave, losing the official title of the richest person on the planet , who was recently “tried on” by the Mexican businessman Carlos Slim. However, the former leader of the list still has a chance to get away beautifully: the price of the issue is an extra ten billion dollars.
