Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates said Thursday he will transition out of a day-to-day role at the company in 2008 to spend more time on global health and education work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. “This was a hard decision for me,” Gates said in a statement. “I’m very lucky to have two passions that I feel are so important and so challenging,” Gates said.
