So long Bill Gates

By Microsoft Subnet on Fri, 06/27/08 - 6:06pm.

Friday marks the last official day for Bill Gates as the day-to-day leader of Microsoft. Gates will stay on as chairman and will no doubt remain in the public eye for many years to come, both as an American icon and through his philanthropic foundation.
