As expected longstanding today that Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft is leaving its operational functions within the software giant, a group that has established itself there are now 33 years and which has its fortune. For memory in 1975 as Micro-Soft was born, in addition to the Atlantic-nm, led by Bill Gates but also by Paul Allen, one of the co-founders of the historical group. From BASIC, Excel, via MS-DOS, Windows and all its variations, Microsoft quickly became a key player in information technology at the point of abusing its dominant position in the mid 1990. Led by Bill Gates, the group registered course fabulous success but also severe failures (Microsoft Bob, Tablet PC, etc.). The most famous will undoubtedly loupe wave of the Internet in 1995, Microsoft and Bill Gates did not believing in a free and open network but rather a closed network owner and pay, The Microsoft Network. In leaving his post daily just to remain chairman of Microsoft, Bill Gates entrust the reins of his company to a team composed of executive Steve Ballmer, Ray Ozzie and Craig Muncie to form what he should call the Microsoft 2.0. A team that has to be done to meet the challenges of today, Microsoft’s future is more uncertain than ever to face giant Google in particular, a giant that the publisher was very difficult to reverse, the alliance failed with Yahoo! being probably the best example. As for Bill Gates, now 51 years old, he will devote himself entirely to his charitable foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, founded in 2000. Philanthropist in his spare time, Bill Gates wants to get involved personally in many cases taking it to heart as the eradication of malaria or reducing the digital divide. Recall that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has already paid several billion dollars to fund medical research on AIDS, malaria or other diseases and efforts of solidarity. Operations charities which are regularly subject to criticism, the activities of the foundation missing sometimes readability. Finally, if Bill Gates is more full-time employee of Microsoft, he remains chairman of the group then it will also be consulted on certain projects.
