Yesterday Bill Gates bide adeiu to the company he founded and propelled it to the biggest technology company in the world. Microsoft, which he founded with his childhood friend Paul Allen in 1975 in a garage, has made him the richest man in the world for 12 consecutive years. Though now he has slipped to 3rd position after warren Buffet and Carlos Slim. However, he will still work part time on various technology projects and will become the non – executive chairman. He is looking work full time for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundationclick here

True to American culture Bill gates is doing, as once Andrew Carnige said, the first half of the life one should spend earning and the second half one should spend giving it back. Gates foundation has large contribution in India too particularly in the health sector. From today the business world will be missing a full time great leader. Read more about Bill gates.

Microsoft will have to work hard to maintain its position with ever rising Google and a resergent Apple Inc with its new ipod and iphone. It may not be easy with gates not around. However, I think he will have a say in all major decisions even now.
