Bill Gates leaving Microsoft.

I've just read on a dutch news-site that Bill is leaving Microsoft to commit himself to his foundation.
Can anybody confirm this?, this is but one source.

Ok, thanks Gerard, that gives it somewhat more credibility.

is there a link about this?

[Lamehand]

I didn' post a link because it is in the dutch language, maybe somebody else has a link wich everybody could read?

here it is at Fox. Anyway, he's certainly not leaving MS - he's stepping aside to let someone else handle the day-to-day stuff while he concentrates elsewhere, or so the story seems to go.

Well. 'leaving' may be not the right term, but as i understand it he's going to drop a lot of his activities for the company.
