The Bill Gates bomb just went off

Suddenly the richest man in the world wants to step down from his throne at Microsoft and the world erupts in a gasp. That might be overkill to say, but checking my RSS feeds yesterday and today, news of Bill Gates departure[googlenews] by 2008 was the headline all over the place.

Taking billions from his empire and applying his efforts towards his foundation is a very respectable move. I could say something about this being good for his company, but I won’t. It’s about time some one with influential power did something good for the world, and PC operating systems won’t solve those problems.
