Microsoft has announced changes to its board of directors today, with co-founder and former CEO Bill Gates stepping down from the board to focus on his philanthropic priorities. "He will continue to serve as Technology Advisor to CEO Satya Nadella and other leaders in the company," the Redmond software maker announced.

Back in 2008, Gates transitioned out of his role as the CEO of the company to spend more time on his work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and then continued to serve as Microsoft’s chairman of the board until February 4, 2014.
