More time to fight the mosquito

Microsoft’s software King of the World, Sir William Gates III, has abdicated from his throne at Microsoft to devote more time to fighting his sworn enemy, the mosquito and other good works.

The 64 year old stopped being involved in daily operations at the firm more than a decade ago, turning his attention to the charity foundation he launched with his wife, Melinda.

Gates served as chairman of Microsoft's board of directors until early in 2014 and has now stepped away entirely, according to the Redmond-based technology giant.

"It's been a tremendous honour and privilege to have worked with and learned from Bill over the years", Microsoft chief executive and company veteran Satya Nadella said in a release.

"Bill founded our company with a belief in the democratizing force of software and a passion to solve society's most pressing challenges; and Microsoft and the world are better for it."
