good for him....i'd do the same thing if I were in his position (tough to imagine, though :-)

Maybe he's just fed up with the business...

Next he'll form a computer start-up, then buy a digital imaging/graphics firm and make movies with it, then...

The title of this thread is wrong:

"Gates will continue on as the company's chairman after transferring his duties over a two-year period."

catchy.

Let's face it, he is the most remarkable story in the history of business. No asset monopolies, illegal trusts, bribery et. al that worked for the early Robber Barons. Just a bit of stealing. He may see a dissembling at his core business and may have become disgusted with his company. He cannot be a patient understanding person to reach the heights he has. Can he help it if people are for the most part sheep? The business World for the most part still rotates on Windows.

"Microsoft's Chief Technical Officer Ray Ozzie will immediately assume Gate's title as chief software architect and begin working alongside Gates on overseeing all software technical design."

Great, the new operating head of M$ is named after my slightly off-balance and skittish cat. This, of course, is no coincidence.

This thread should have been titled:


"Gates Stepping Down as M$ Chairman to become SATAN."

I think he's heard how much of a disaster Vista is going to be, and he's trying to distance himself as much as possible.
