Gates of Heaven

The big news this past week involved Microsoft CEO Bill Gates decision to step down from his post and take on a new role as the resident software visionary. For a humorous take on Gates' decision, turn to the pages of Salon. This list of "Top Ten Reasons Bill Gates Stepped Down" is not up to Letterman--or even Hillary Clinton--standards, but it's worth a look nonetheless. On a more substantial note, there are links embedded in several of the entries that take you to related Salon stories. My favorite? Reason number four: "Realized the only way all the bugs in Windows would ever get fixed is if he did it himself." Amen to that!
