In a couple of years anyway. I suppose he has earned a rest, and it will be interesting to see what direction MS takes afterwards.

    He's not leaving. He won't perform the duties that he's currently responsible for, but he will still own MS.

    Here is the complete article at CNET.

    I'm thankful for the things Bill achieved in the past three decades, and I hope he'll have a great time spending some of that money. I'm sure he will continue to influence Microsoft for at least a decade more though.

    And you weren't going to tell us? icon_lol.gif

    Congratulations! :D

    Did you get an excuse for why the test center wasn't open? Did they blame it on an error in the scheduling system?

    Oh....(to not hijack the thread) hey, what about Bill icon_thumright.gif I guess he's serious about using his money to do some good.

    What's up, dude? Vue told me that it was a mistake on their system because the test center is not open on Sundays anymore. They never changed the scheduling in their system. I didn't make a big thread but I mentioned my MCSE status in my 70-284 pass thread. Good luck on the CCIE :D
