San Francisco (InfoWorld) - With the planning and forethought that seem to accompany most of Microsoft’s big corporate shifts (think “The Trustworthy Computing” memo), Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates' surprise announcement that he plans to leave his position to focus more on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation came as a major surprise. Full Story (http://news.yahoo.com/s/infoworld/20060619/tc_infoworld/79342_1)

This means that this guy will have total control of Microsoft. :eek:

Raiden, others may not agree with me, but Bill Gates is one of my living heroes. He's a real genius and a true businessman. He's living his post for a charity foundation.? I'm a little bit lost here. Is there a story behind it?
But if it is truly an Act of Benevolence, he may also be a saint. Aside, from being THE HERO of the computer technology. :)

Hey Pilipinas.

Don't get me wrong, Bill Gates is indeed a genius. A rich and generous one with noble endeavors. :)

I'm just poking fun at Steve Ballmer's dorky stage antics. :D

Would you trust this guy enough for you to invest in whatever company he's handling?

Me? Not after watching him do that sh*t on stage. :lol:
