TORONTO (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. MSFT.O Chairman Bill Gates said on Tuesday there would be little impact on technological innovation if hi-tech firms began accounting for employee stock options as an expense.
But Gates, co-founder of the world's largest software maker and one of the world's richest men, reiterated Microsoft's stance that it has no plans to join the growing ranks of companies that have begun expensing options in a bid to improve investor confidence.
