> MICROSOFT RESHUFFLES TO GIVE GATES TIME TO STRATEGIZE
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates handed day-to-day management of the
software
company Thursday to his right-hand man, Steve Ballmer, as part of a
corporate
reshuffling that will allow Gates to focus on long-term strategies.
Gates,
who had been chief executive officer since the company was founded 25
years
ago, will retain his post as chairman and add a new title as chief
software
architect.
