What's next Mr. Gates?

After spending almost 33 years in building and growing Microsoft, Bill Gates, an inspiration to many a wannabe millionaires, steps down as the chairman of Microsoft today.

Looks like he is going to spend the rest of his life caring for people and not bytes. Philanthropy bug has bit him some time back and he is seriously pursuing it. One of the richest in the world, Bill Gates had visited India in 2005, and announced a $1.7-billion investment.

Let's wait and watch what social changes he will aim to bring about and which part of the globe might benefit.
