Gates' retirement was a message to eBay - Valleywag
Is it possible? Could a Microsoft and eBay marriage be in the works? There's been speculation for weeks now that eBay and Microsoft are courting. Most people, like me, think that this is a lot of hot air and that the merger of two companies plagued by anti-trust threats are not likely to tie the knot.
This week Valleywag claims a little birdie told them that "Gates stepped down in an attempt to convince [eBay founder] Pierre Omidyar that Gates shares all the same values as Pierre in terms of charity." Sounds like a stretch to me.
