Yeah he's stepping down from his day to day activities to focus more on his foundation. He is staying on as chairman of the board, so i'm sure he'll be able to protect his investment.
Do I smell a political motive?
Hooray !!!!!!!!
Bill Gates for president! My hero!
I could see how it's a political step. :)
Upgrade your image a little and campaign for Governer of Washington (if arnold and jesse could do it, he'd be a shoe in)?
He's not stepping down for 2 years. He can't even schedule leaving in a reasonable amount of time. :rofl:
Using M$ Outlook, when Gates entered his 'leaving do' Outlook scheduled it for 2 years time.
