Mr. Gates announced yesterday he does something in 2008 that he says it not retirement but in fact it is.
Why would someone who's just 50 do that? You could say, he has enough money, why to work further? But in this case why didn't he retire 5 or 10 years ago? Probably he is kind of a guy who works not for money but from passion. Works until it makes sense to work.
Probably now has come the time when it doesn't make sense for him to work for Microsoft anymore.
It questions the future of Microsoft in general. They cannot grow anymore, they're going to loose being a monopoly not too much soon, and because they are not better than others at all, not being a monopoly will result in ceasing the justification of their existence.
