Sometimes I can't help but wonder if Gates saw the writing on the wall and jumped ship to preserve his legacy.

  If he did, it's surprising he didn't go years before this.

    errr... he did - he's been stepping out since 2001.

      Exactly, you can't just jet at the end of a day if you want your 20% of the company to be worth something when you're gone.

        I don't think he gives a damn about his 20% of the company as far as cash is concerned. It's more of a legacy thing. He created Microsoft - it's his legacy, it's what he'll be remembered by, and he really cares for it.... it's a part of him.
