Gates seems to be slowly selling a lot of his holdings of Microsoft.

Refalm:
I think Bill Gates has lost faith in the company in terms of not perusing the "embrace, extend and extinguish" strategy aggressively enough since he left.

Microsoft is in a downfall because they haven't done enough with Bill's competition destroying strategy, and now you see other players gaining momentum in the desktop, server and smartphone market.

Since Bill Gates has no income, its a very smart idea to sell holdings in a company that's falling.

Kintaro:
Desktop market? Show me the market share numbers, I don't believe you!

Kintaro:


Microsoft isn't holding onto its server gains at all as a webserver. Apache has a monopoly, chain them nose to toe with socialist anti-trust!

davidnix71:
Gates has been giving away a lot of money to charity. He probably has to sell off stock to generate usable cash. I don't like his business attitude, but malaria is exactly the one disease I would eradicate if I could.
