Star-studded video opens Gates’ CES keynote

Cory Bergman January 6th, 2008

Bill Gates has been giving the kick-off keynote at CES for over a decade. And tonight, it’s his last, as he’s stepping down from his day-to-day work at Microsoft in June. So he opened his presentation with a video chronicling his last day at work at Microsoft. Wow. Stars like Matthew Mcconaughey, Jay Z, George Clooney, Steven Spielberg, Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama, Bono, Al Gore, Jon Stewart and Brian Williams (of course) appeared in the clip. Hilarious stuff. Currently the video is only available in the full presentation clip, but let us know if you see it on YouTube or somewhere else in clip form.

Gates asks Mcconaughey, “Am I ready to take my shirt off yet?”

Update: Here’s a link to the clip, courtesy of CitizenRain.

    Any other sources for this video? The buffering makes it unwatchable.

    Caution: The buffering is intentional. Watching a Bill Gates speech for more than 5 seconds uninterrupted is hazardous to your well-being
