you do know gates is worth over 85 billion dollars right? warren buffet is giving 85% of his fortune to gates's foundation. and gates will ALWAYS be the chairman and leading stockholder of microsoft. Gates is gonna build a ----ing deathstar or something i swear.
there isnt going to be a new owner. gates will always be chairman. and hes still gonna be there. hes just going from fulltime to part time. learn to read for christs sake.
Too bad Gates promised to donate millions of dollars to charity...not that that's bad but he's not going to have all his money and the compay is going to take a blow.
Philanthropy is actually a very good strategy to get rich(er) =/ And as KrazyNick said,he is going to work part time instead of full time.

You said that and you're telling him he's not funny? Anyway, who cares about Gates he's Satan anyway.
All the rich ppl have foundations. Basically, then people will think they're giving back to the community and stuff and they will buy more of their products. Although I think he actually cares about it though. After all, he could have gotten any hot girl he wanted, but his wife... isn't really. Apparently she's really smart though.
