    (ANI)


    London, Jan 11 : As Microsoft kingpin Bill Gates gets ready to bid adieu to his company in July; he does it in his own style - through a spoof video starring the likes of Bono, George Clooney and Jay-Z.

    After the conception of one of the biggest and most powerful companies in the world, Bill Gates decided to have the last laugh on his colleagues with a spoof video of his last day on the job.

    The video called 'Bill's Last Day' shows how the 53-year-old corporate might spend his last full day at Microsoft and how he tries hard for a new "day job."

    The six-minute video shows Gates work out in the gym with his trainer played by Matthew McConaughey. The Microsoft boss is then seen rapping in the sound studio to Jay-Z.

    Bill also interrupts Bono's U2 concert hoping to get a place in the band and pleads Steven Spielberg for a role in his movie. In fact George Clooney goes on to deny playing the Microsoft moghul in a film.

    This star-studded video was showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show 2008 during his 11th and last keynote speech. It records over 300,000 hits on the video website You Tube.

    Gates explained that it will be the first time since he was 17 years old he wouldn't be working full-time at the company he created.
