A bit of what's available...................
Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates said Thursday he will transition out of a day-to-day role at the company in 2008 to spend more time on global health and education work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. "This was a hard decision for me," Gates said in a statement. "I'm very lucky to have two passions that I feel are so important and so challenging," Gates said. |
seems like only yesterday that he ruled the world...
|
Thats great. He'll do it slow, and make more time for his charitable work.
|
wow thats big news
|
I predict that in a year the windows OS will be as flakey as ever.
|
Oh well, I'm sure it won't affect the company much. His speech was such bullshit. It's awesome he's doing so much charity work though.

He will still be the chairmen of the board, so he isnt giving up much except his software architect title. Not to mention his puppet Balmer will still be there.
|
damn that is deep
|
That's awesome that he's stepping down in order to focus more on his charities.
