Being a part of history – Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer

This fall will mark a decade for me at Microsoft. I spent sometime as a contractor and nine years as a full time employee so through that I’ve been a part of some pretty darn special moments. This morning though probably has and might go down as the biggest for me. Charles and I had the privilege to sit down with Bill and Steve for a brief interview on Channel 9 discussing Bill’s next steps and his plan to move to his foundation full time in 2008.

As Charles and I sat there interviewing Bill and Steve and then sitting with presidents of our company along with Melinda for official announcements with the press I was struck at how this is one moment I will tell my grandchildren about. Actually it pretty darn emotional for me. Man, I am so lucky to be at this company.

I need pull my thoughts together and think through about this a bit before I post more. (stay tuned) The Channel 9 interview is at https://channel9.msdn.com/showpost.aspx?postid=205005 and Techmeme has more here.

Postscript: My wife blogs about today and me.
