News.com is reporting that Bill Gates is stepping down as Chief Software Architect. He’ll stay on for a couple of years, transitioning from time employee to part time employee and chairman. Ray Ozzie (the current CTO of Microsoft) will take over as Chief Software Architect.
This is the start of Bill’s retirement, and typical of entrenched execs who are moving to retirement: they have to wean themselves from their company (and vice versa).
