June 23 news, according to foreign media reports, Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, will officially exit from the daily management work of the company this Friday, thus bringing to an end his career as a full-time employee at Microsoft. June 27 will be Gates' last day as a full-time employee at Microsoft. Thereafter, he will step down from the daily management work of the company and instead devote 80% of his time to charitable causes. Regarding Gates' departure, the industry generally believes that it will not have too much impact on Microsoft. Because as early as 2000, Gates handed over the position of CEO to his college friend Ballmer, laying the groundwork for his own retirement. Many analysts believe that Gates has become part of Microsoft's image, and his departure is only symbolic. Matt Rosoff, an analyst who has been closely following Microsoft's movements, said: "After Gates leaves, there won't be much change at Microsoft. If he thinks something is important, he can just tell Ballmer. And Ballmer will listen to him." However, Rob Enderle, an analyst from the Enderle Group, believes that after Gates leaves, Microsoft will still run into trouble. In the desktop market, Microsoft faces attacks from Apple. In the search market, Microsoft is chasing Google. Besides, the Xbox 360 business department has yet to turn a profit.
