interview that he gave during the WSJD Live event last week, where the former CEO explained that he has no intention of selling his stake in the company. Not now, not in the future, never.

But he still keeps an eye on how Microsoft is doing, as much as possible, in fact. Though he also admitted that he is not actively involved with Redmond right now, when it comes to management decisions and all that.
