| Bill Gates bids adieu |
Compiled by Devika Chhibber
Bill Gates let his emotions get the better of him as he announced his pending resignation in a press conference in July 2008. Gates has made a transition from his day-to-day role as Chief Software Architect and Chairman of Microsoft to just being the Chairman.
Chief Technical Officer Ray Ozzie immediately assumed the title of Chief Software Architect and began working side by side with Gates on all technical architecture and product oversight responsibilities while Chief Technical Officer Craig Mundie took the new title of Chief Research and Strategy Officer. In July 2008, Gates switched to working part-time for Microsoft and full-time for the health-and-education foundation he founded with his wife, Melinda.
