Gates at WinHEC 2006

Editors' note: This gallery was originally published June 15, 2006. It has been updated with additional images from subsequent events.

In this photo from the WinHEC conference in May 2006, Gates introduces the first public beta version of Microsoft's upcoming--and critical--Windows Vista update.

The discussion hasn’t started yet. Why don’t you begin it?
