The Microsoft co-founder and driving force in the company, whose boyish face and nerdy manner epitomizes the US software colossus, spends his last day at the office on Friday.
However Gates, 52, remains chairman of the Microsoft board of directors and the company's largest shareholder.
After decades devoted to Microsoft, Gates turns his attention full time to the philanthropic Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation he established with his wife.
Gates leaves Microsoft to wrestle with a fast-changing computer era and growing challenges from Internet juggernaut Google and longtime rival Apple, which makes Macintosh computers.
Three people will essentially fill the void Gates leaves behind at Microsoft.
Gate's job as chief software architect is being handled by Ray Ozzie.
Craig Mundie inherited Gate's chief research and strategy officer duties, while former Harvard University classmate Steve Ballmer is chief executive officer at the software colossus based in Redmond, Washington.

Well guys mark this date on the Calendar, as it has already created history.
Fell the heat, Bill Gates of MICROSOFT resigns from its active corporate responsibilities.
Its like leavin your own baby to someone else, for taking care. Thank god its not somebody else but Steve Ballmer.
But yes history is created, the fact that we take Bill Gates for Granted in this generation was not and will not be seen in the same way.
Emotional Feelings ????
