I MYSELF HEREBY ANNOUNCE MY INTENT TO RETIRE IN 2041 -- BEGIN THE PREPARATIONS: Does anyone besides me find it a trifle weird that Bill Gates has announced his intended retirement from day-to-day responsibilities at Microsoft -- two years from now? Let's be clear -- he hasn't been CEO for a while, and he will remain non-executive chairman even after his "departure."

I'm not underestimating the significance of Gates' role at Microsoft by any means -- those are some seriously large shoes needing filling -- but two years?
