Will Gates' exit turn out to be a lie?

Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates announces, Thursday, June 15, 2006, in Redmond, Wash., that he will transition from day-to-day responsibilities at the company he co-founded to concentrate on the charitable work of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Gates said he hopes to remain the company's chairman indefinitely. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren)Microsoft's chairman Bill Gates is stepping down as the company's software overlord and will abandon all day-to-day duties entirely in two years. But it's difficult to believe whether Gates will ever be able to let go when his company is losing in the market and is more vulnerable than ever before.
