If the only reason you're leaving is to start your own business, I don't see the benefit of hanging it in the bossman's ass. Now if you hated your boss, I'd say burn that bridge.
I once had a job where I got along with everyone (actually alot of people hated me but I enjoyed myself). Then the manager got replaced by a real stormtrooper. When I quit, I went to the president of the company and made my pleasant farewells. Then I went into the managers office and told him that he just plain sucked and that I thanked him for motivating me to get out of that shithole. All the other people I worked with loved it, many followed soon thereafter.
