Bill Gates Still Planning On Leaving Microsoft Next Year

Even though Mr Gates is busy away, scheduling and planning all the Microsoft goodies in the world, it seems like he is still planning to leave next year; which is quite odd seeing as he’s still working his socks off.

“I am in a lucky situation of having way more things that seem interesting to do and very exciting and important, and working with smart people, and highly impactful, way more than a 24-hour day will fit,” Mr. Gates said.

But with so many things to come, why leave now?

“It’s very hard for someone at his age, who has built a company with that much success and with continuing challenges to really walk away,” said Yoffie, a professor at Harvard’s business school.

With the news of his departure pops up the question, how will the lack of input from Bill Gates affect the new operating system, planning on launching in three years time? Will Windows 7 benefit from not being aided by Mr Gates? Will it perhaps bring a negative aspect to the new OS?

Either way, Mr Gates has acheived a lot in his lifetime and deserves a well-earned rest.
