Any thoughts on Bill Gates standing down to become a non-executive CEO of Microsoft?

He can now put more focus into his charity work, which coupled with his huge amount of disposable finance means that he can do nothing but good now ,

Cheers,

Never knew you were his PR Ben Yes I am sure that is what he has publicly stated mate, I really meant what do you think of Microsoft's future without Gates?

I wouldnt have thought it would have mattered
I cant imagine for a single minute that he has been the sole driving force behind microsoft for quite a longtime

Is it purely coincidence that he announces his retirement just as our very own Mr Trish pays a visit to the US!

I think Microsoft will change - The Gates vision will no longer live

MS will still continue to dominate the OS/software market and be riddled with law suits.

They will still continue to play catch up in the search market.
