Bill Gates leaves Microsoft for ever, but what has he contributed to Windows Mobile ? June 29, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. 2 days ago, on June 27, 2008, there was a last day of Bill Gates at Microsoft, who has founded Microsoft corporation and who recently was serving the role of chief architect and chairman and who still owns 9% of Microsoft.

That Windows mobile 7 that is coming out early next year must support out-of-the-box multi-touch and tilt-sensor or Windows Mobile will continue to be a failure...
