Las Vegas (NV) - We don't have much time left with Bill Gates. In fact, Gates' keynote address for CES 2007 is most likely his penultimate speech for the trade show. In fact, Microsoft's co-founder and chairman admitted as much.
"People ask me, Are you going to keep doing this?," Gates said Sunday night in reference to his keynote. "The answer is, of course, next year I'll give the keynote like I always have. But after that, I'm not sure they'll want to invite me because I'll probably talk a lot more about infectious diseases than great software.
So there it is. Gates announced earlier this year that he is stepping down from a full-time role at Microsoft in 2008 and will instead devote his time and resources to his philanthropic efforts at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
