The Associated Press reported Monday, October 18, 2010
SAN FRANCISCO -- Bill Gates' successor as Microsoft's Chief Software Architect, Ray Ozzie, is leaving the company after five years.
In an e-mail sent to Microsoft Corp. employees Monday, CEO Steve Ballmer announced the change, saying Ozzie will stay with Microsoft for an undefined transition period.
Ballmer said the company is not looking for a replacement.
He said Ozzie - whose title translated into the company's top technical thinker - plans to concentrate on "the broader area of entertainment where Microsoft has many ongoing investments" before he leaves. As for his post-Microsoft employment, Ballmer said Ozzie has "no plans at this time."
