Daily Mail: Bill Gates is not going back to Microsoft

For everyone hoping that Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates will make a Steve Jobs-like comeback to Apple, the answer is no, according to an interview Gates did with the Daily Mail.

In an interview with the U.K. publication, Gates said his full time work for the rest of his life will be with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Here is the excerpt from the Daily Mail:

"I ask him whether this is it now ? is Microsoft history to him, replaced in his heart by his philanthropy? He retired from the day-to-day running of Microsoft in 2008, with many believing it has since lost its edge to companies like Apple and Google.

My full-time work for the rest of my life is this foundation.

Will he ever return to helm Microsoft?

I?m part-time involved. But this is my job now.? "

Here is another nugget from the interview: Bono stayed at Gates' house in Medina when U2 came to Seattle to perform this month. Here is an excerpt from the Daily Mail where Gates talks about the U2 concert.

" 'We went to the concert with my daughter and three of her friends, so there were six of us and we took the minivan. I drove.?

Did Bono invite them backstage? A long pause, then: ?Umm, no ? actually, he stayed at our house.? "
