REDMOND -- The world's richest man got a raise last year.

Microsoft Corp.'s chairman and chief software architect, Bill Gates, earned $901,667 in Microsoft's 2004 fiscal year, up 4.4 percent from a year ago.

Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, earned the same amount and got the same raise in the fiscal year ended June 30, the Redmond software company said in a filing Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
