After 33 years at the helm of Microsoft, Bill Gates will finally hand over day to day control on the 27th June this year. While he will still continue to work one day a week for the company and retain his position as board chairman, the day to day running of Microsoft will be firmly in the hands of Steve Ballmer the group’s Chief Executive.
