Bill Gates to Step Down from Microsoft
Geoffreyerffoeg writes "According to Microsoft PressPass, Bill Gates will be leaving his role at Microsoft in July 2008. He'll be staying with the company, but is also moving to a more fulltime position with the Gates Foundation. 'Microsoft Corp. today announced that effective July 2008 Bill Gates, chairman, will transition out of a day-to-day role in the company to spend more time on his global health and education work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The company announced a two-year transition process to ensure that there is a smooth and orderly transfer of Gates' daily responsibilities, and said that after July 2008 Gates would continue to serve as the company's chairman and an adviser on key development projects.' CTO Ray Ozzie will assume Gates' role of Chief Software Architect, and CTO Craig Mundie will also take on more leadership responsibility."
Although other varieties might do the job just as well.

Evil men when they sense they are close to dying all of sudden want to make amends.
If anything all this charity proves that he knows he has something to make up. Oh and if he hadn't been "evil" he wouldn't have had all those billions to spend on charity but just had MS pay taxes so people wouldn't have to hold out their hand to him but just gotten what was needed from the state.
No sorry mate, I have a hard time with a lot of charities. To often they seem to be nothing more then a tool for the rich to feel good and to make sure the needy have to be properly grateful.
You just have to look at Gates charity in giving computers to schools. Windows. Oh yeah, the first one is free kids.
MMO Quests are like orgasms:
You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
You sir, are a fucking idiot. You're talking about economy vs. someones son / daughter dying of TB. Get some fuckin perspective on "life" and realize that saving millions from certain death is never "harmful"... jackass!
My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch.
But what if (just toy with the idea for a moment or two) Vista isn't the most secure OS ever? Call me crazy, but I think there may be a tiny possibility that Microsoft is saying positive things about its products that may not be true.
C'mon, what are they going to say? "Vista is basically less secure than XP was, but we try to compensate for that by popping up lots and lots of messages." People wouldn't exactly be lining up to buy that, would they?
You want the truthiness? You can't handle the truthiness!
of fucking idiots that get modded Insightful. If anyone is allowed to do anything to get to the top and then be considered a good guy for giving away money that he hasn't honestly earned, the biggest of the assassins could be a good guy if he'd be affiliated to Red Cross or he'd create his "help the poor" organization. Hypocrisy everywhere.
