Quote:

Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates Thursday said he plans to stop working full time at Microsoft in July 2008 in order to spend more time on his global health and education work at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Gates will continue to serve as chairman and an adviser on key development projects even after he stops working full time. Effective immediately, however, he is giving up his chief software architect title to Chief Technical Officer Ray Ozzie.

Microsoft said Ozzie will begin working side by side with Gates on all technical architecture and product oversight responsibilities. In addition, Chief Technical Officer Craig Mundie will immedately take the new title of chief research and strategy officer and work closely with Gates to take over Microsoft research and incubation efforts.
