Bill Gates gets a 4% pay raise
Bill Gates gets a 4% pay raise
09/21/2004 12:24 PMMicrosoft Chairman Bill Gates, the world's richest man, got a modest
pay raise over the last year, according to a company filing.
Gates, who is also the company's chief software architect, received
$901,667 in salary and bonus from the company for the fiscal year
ended June 30, the company revealed in its proxy filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. That's up 4.4 percent from the
year earlier total in salary and bonus.
But Gates' increase was lower than the nearly 15 percent rise in pay
and bonus he received the previous fiscal year. The filing also shows
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer received the identical pay and bonus as
Gates, as he has each of the previous two years. Neither executive
received stock options.
With 1.1 billion shares of Microsoft stock, or about 10 percent of its
shares outstanding, Gates' dividends during the year came to about
$175.6 million.
This November, the company plans to pay a special dividend of $3 per
share, subject to shareholder approval. The company announced in July
that Gates will donate his $3.3 billion proceeds of the special
dividend to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the charitable
organization named for him and his wife.

It may just be pocket change for
the richest man in the world, but Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has
been fined $800,000 by the federal government for violating an
antitrust rule. Will the world's richest man feel an $800,000 fine?
The technical incident has nothing to do with the government's massive
antitrust battles with Microsoft (MSFT: Research, Estimates). Gates,
whose fortune has been estimated at more than $40 billion, ran afoul
of the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department's Antitrust
Division for his purchases of stock in a drug company and a
waste-hauling firm.

02/13/2004 10:44 AMMicrosoft founder and billionaire, Bill Gates has donated $83 million
dollars to help in the research of Tuberculosis. Executive Director of
the Gates Foundation's Global Health Programme, Dr. Richard Klausner
said, "It is unacceptable that TB continues to kill someone every 15
seconds when we have the ability to discover new tools to stop it.
Through accelerated research and development, a new vaccine could
permanently change the trajectory of the epidemic and save millions of
lives every year." Tuberculosis is responsible for killing over two
million people every year.

Bill Gates : CES Coverage 2005
Bill Gates : CES Coverage 2005
01/06/2005 12:15 AMBill Gates, like many years before, headed up the keynote for the
Consumer Electronics Show 2005. Introduced with some light hearted
comedy by TV presenter Conan O'Brian, Bill Gates keynote announced
Microsoft's plans for the "digital lifestyle" in 2005.
Gates, starting 10 minutes late, announced that many new devices are
joining the "PlaysForSure" Microsoft program; the company
perceives there being problems amongst consumers as them being unsure
as to what music / content plays on what devices. Microsoft hope that
any concerns on these issues will be alleviated by this program. Gates
described music somewhat vaguely as "going digital", and
suggested the company was "pioneering" in the area. He
showed off the
iRiver device, and the
Samsung PMC. The ability to view photos on
PMC devices like the Samsung was touched on by Gates, who discussed
Microsoft’s advances in the area of viewing pictures. He’s hoping to
make it simpler to transfer digital content like pictures onto your PC
and demoed a camera (
Nikon D2X) with new transfer technology, as well
as in built wireless connectivity. Gate’s looked rather frustrated
when attempting to demo slide show technology on MCE 2005;
unfortunately, despite numerous attempts (and comic suggestions from
O’Brian) the slideshow failed to work until later in the show. It
became clear later that the bit had been setup to provide O’Brian / MS
PR team with an opportunity to Photoshop some photos of Gates for
comedy value; all in all the demo had three major failures.
Gates focused on “choice”, highlighting a commitment to letting people
view content when they wanted, on whatever device they wanted. He
described the centre piece for the drive as Windows
Media Center Edition, and noted that they had
shipped 1.4 million MCE devices. Products announced at CES included a
MSN TV device, a DVD Recording device, new SPOT watches, IP-TV, and
much more. Demoed was the MCE Extender for X-Box and MSN Remote Record
(currently in beta, to be launched later this quarter). The DVD
recorder was also demoed; the device is a records DVD’s, and also has
a TV tuner and a hard drive packaged together; the box is made by LG,
and features a MCE-esque style layout, with a very simple
functionality. This device is one of many new “integrated devices”
that Microsoft is keen on launching with MCE 2005. It also became
clear that the company is enthusiastic with High Definition (HD) TV
devices, offering high quality content in the home. One of the
presenters talked about voice, video and data coming through the same
pipe- named "IP-TV", an exciting, high bandwidth (and
perhaps futuristic) vision of content being offered in the years to
come. Software was demoed showing a baseball game where users could
control elements like angles viewed, made possible via IP-TV. The
potentials did seem quite endless for the technology, with a demo
being given on content being streamed from a MCE box onto a mobile
phone, and a mobile phone interacting with the box, functioning as a
big remote control. It’s re-assuring that Microsoft aren’t just
focusing on delivering content to one device (MCE boxes) but much
more; it’s also rather worrying that the company could be dominating
in many more markets.
Gates also announced a partnership between Microsoft, music channel
MTV, and
Tivo. Microsoft's
relationship with MTV is key for its push into the media centre
market. The company badly needs media providers like MTV to create
unique content to get users on the Windows Media platform. As part of
the agreement, MTV (and its sub-sites) will begin streaming content
using WMV 10. Microsoft wants to channel more content from providers
like MTV onto their media devices. The announcement comes with
MSN
Video, offering content for download straight to media devices
like the Creative Zen PMC. "We've declared our vision of enabling
digital entertainment anywhere, and today we are delivering three more
solutions to make that possible," said Blair Westlake, VP of
Media at Microsoft.
Tivo's recently launched "
TiVoToGo" will be done in partership with
Microsoft, allowing customers to transfer content recorded from TV
onto their Windows PC. Microsoft will offer a membership based
download service from the site, charging $19.99 per year for
un-limited access to content offered online. Content will be available
from Microsoft partners like MTV, as well as CNBC, MSNBC, Fox Sports,
Cookie Jar, Home and Garden TV, DIY Network, Food Network, Fine
Living, iFilm, Want Media and Break TV. Content offered will be
suitable for the range of "PlaysForSure" devices and will
later be compatible with Smartphones and Pocket PCs that support
video.
Xbox news was limited to discussion about the
products achievements over the past year, and noted that the X-Box
actually outsold the PS2. He noted
Halo-2’s
success, and said that there were 6.2m users playing the game. He
noted a commitment to making it easier for developers to code games
for the Xbox platform. Rumours that CES would see the launch of X-Box
2 were false; he touched on the fact that the next generation of Xbox
would be taking advantage of much higher graphics power, which
combined with HD-TV would produce much more enticing games.
All in all, Gates announced an impressive line up of new products at
CES. Although MCE didn't really take off as well as it might have last
year, the company hopes that 2005 will see far more interest in the
product. Microsoft hopes to re-assert itself in areas where it perhaps
lagged behind, and the offerings shown at this years CES are certain
impressive enough to make a good start.
