Bill Gates rules out return to Microsoft | |
|

| Time: 08:47 EST/13:47 GMT | News Source: Telegraph | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Bill Gates has told the Sydney Morning Herald he will not return to Microsoft's helm, despite rumours of his intention to reclaim the reins from Steve Balmer, who replaced Gates as CEO back in 2000. Earlier this month, Fortune Magazine reported that a “prominent chief executive” had heard stirrings of Gates’s intention to take back control of the software giant, which he founded in 1975. However the business magnate has confirmed his relationship to Microsoft will remain strictly advisory. “I’m part-time involved with Microsoft, including even being in touch this week to give some of my advice, but that’s not going to change,” he said. Since stepping down from the mantle in 2000, Gates has remained as chairman of his billion-dollar company, and even opened a new position for himself as chief software architect. | ||

Why would he want to? His job at Microsoft is over. He's made his billions. The man should be left alone to live out the rest of his life the way he wants.
This is like everyone on the planet (including me :)) pestering David Gilmour to do another Pink Floyd Concert. He doesn't want to, and as much as I'd like to see it I understand it. Besides, any microscopic chance we ever had of another PF concert/reunion died with Richard Wright I'm sure. We'll just have to hang on to Live-8 2005 :) |
