Bill Gates announced his decision to retire from Microsoft in 2008 to focus his attention on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, aimed at fighting infectious disease and improving high schools. This must be music to his rivals in Silicon Valley.

In the Microsoft Corp. press release, “Microsoft Corp. today announced that effective July 2008 Bill Gates, chairman, will transition out of a day-to-day role in the company to spend more time on his global health and education work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The company announced a two-year transition process to ensure that there is a smooth and orderly transfer of Gates’ daily responsibilities, and said that after July 2008 Gates would continue to serve as the company’s chairman and an advisor on key development projects.”
