Whether you like/dislike Bill Gates/Microsoft there is one thing he did that was instrumental for many of us and that was pave the way to create many, many careers. I've had my frustrations with some of MS products but in the end I have a great career as a result. Also would like to point out Bill came to the rescue of Apple in the late 90's financially. To be fair, it was in Microsoft's best interest to save Apple do due monopoly laws but nonetheless he did.I do hope Bill can get MS back on the innovative track once again...

I hate to dispel your delusions but Bill's technical influence has never been absent. That includes Kin, Zune, and Windows 8. Him losing the chairmanship likely means even less involvement. Nadella's promotion is partly in response to the major investors that were screaming to ignore the PC and Xbox and instead focus on Azure and Office 365.

that's good news, bill is a leader and a visonary. but please don't compare jobs with him, because jobs is not even in the same league.
I know it's too unfair to Bill. He doesn't come close to Jobs. :p
You mean as a narcissist that only cared about hoarding money? Yup, Jobs was on a whole other level.
