Bill Gates is transitioning out of his Daily role at Microsoft and will devote more time to his philanthropy. In an after market press announcement, Bill Gates stated that he will be leaving Microsoft on 7/08 (2 years). Even though he's leaving, he's staying in "name" since he's retaining his Chairman position. Good on him for spending all that money to help the global problems in health and education. Unfortunately, Monkey Boy (Steve Ballmer) is still at the actual helm at Microsoft.
