Instead of spending 80 percent on Microsoft and 20 percent on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, he will spend 20 percent of his time on Microsoft issues and the remainder on his foundation work."
So yes I WAS paying that much attention.
Unless the Agoraphobe is suing him for their search engine.
