Bill Gates Leaves Microsoft

It is truly the end of an era.

Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, has stepped down from the computer giant after nearly 33 years. He created the company with co-founder Paul Allen back in 1975 from his garage. Now, Microsoft is the leader in computer technology, with 90% of computers around the world running Microsoft software.

Gates, who is 52, is retiring to focus full-time on his philanthropic work. His foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, works to end poverty and make education better across the globe.
