Bill Gates, the founder of Windows-maker Microsoft, has launched a personal website for the first time, and is billing it as “An inside look at global matters”. In his greeting to new users of
GatesNotes.com, he writes “since leaving my fulltime job at Microsoft to dedicate more time to our [charitable] foundation, a lot of people have asked me what I'm working on. I'm fortunate because the people I'm working with and learning from are true experts in their fields. I take a lot of notes [and] I thought it would be interesting to share these conversations more widely with a website.”
