双语环球：当比尔盖茨华丽转身(图)

　　北京时间6月28日消息，比尔·盖茨周五在微软做告别演讲时，留下了眼泪。他舍不得离开微软。当年，他怀抱着让电脑走进千家万户的梦想，和儿时的伙伴保罗·艾伦(Paul Allen)创建了这家软件公司；如今，他的这个梦想已基本现实，而微软也发展成为了全球最有价值的技术公司。

　　Bill Gates Turns Attention to Charity,

　　But Microsoft Seeks to Stay on Track with 'Quests'

　　It is almost unthinkablethat any one human could pick up where Bill Gates leaves off when he ends his full-time tenureFriday as Microsoft's leader.

　　But as Gates bones up on epidemiologyat his charitablefoundation, the software company he built with a mix of visionary manifestos and extreme hands-on management must still wake up Monday to face hard problems even he could not solve. Among them: beating Google Inc. on the Web while fending off its attacks on desktop computing.

　　When Microsoft Corp. announced in 2006 that Gates planned to go part-time as board chairman, so he could spend more time on his global health charity, it named two senior executives to guide the company's overall technical direction.

　　Gates' recent remarks, however, indicateMicrosoft is looking to a much larger group of employees for big-picture guidance and long-term planning. But it's not yet clear whether the company can replicate his thinking with more traditional corporate processes or whether it should even be trying.
