TL;DR: linkbait saying Gates would step down as Chairman and more involved in to tech and design.
I don't think so. Being involved in tech/design of these products is very consuming and Gates has made clear many times he doesn't want to work in "this space".
My bet is Ballmer is going to get in board, likely going to fight for chairman position and may even get it. He had given strong indication of this in Company Meeting 2013 video that Microsoft had released.
- yulaow 13y agoI think that Ballmer in board is likely improbable. It seems to me that microsoft is trying to "refresh" itself a bit, so putting a man of the "old wave" into board would not be coerent with their actual mission.
