Microsoft CTO Ray Ozzie will take over Gates' role as Chief Software Architect starting immediately. "Over the next two years, Ray and I will work side by side to ensure a smooth transition," Gates said. "Over time, he'll take on the central role for architectual leadership at Microsoft.'

Good for him! I heard that the Gates Foundation is worth several Billion dollars as well. So it’s good to know he and his family wouldn’t be going hungry;)
