Bill's windows of opportunity
THE world's richest man is giving up his day job to give away billion of dollars.
Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, will quit the day-to-day running of the software giant to work full-time on his charitable foundation.
The former university dropout with an estimated personal fortune of US$67 billion announced yesterday that by 2008 he will only be working part-time with the company that made him mega rich.
"Obviously, this decision was a tough one for me to make. I have one of the best jobs in the world. I love software and I love working," Gates said.
Gates started Microsoft in 1975 with friend Paul Allen and turned the company into the world's software goliath. Today, Microsoft software is used in 90 per cent of all personal computers and the company has a market value of $302 billion.
