Todd
Bishop at TechFlash has reported that Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates
has founded a new company.
The new venture, known as bgC3, is a think tank, based in Kirkland,
Wash., Bishop said. Bishop, a former
reporter for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, is now a writer for the Puget
Sound Business Journal.
Bishop said:
Is this Bill Gates' next big business?
A Gates insider gives an emphatic no—saying
it's not a commercial venture but rather a vehicle to coordinate the software
mogul's work on his business and philanthropic endeavors.
Whatever the business is, it's good to see that Gates is still in the game
in one way or another.
And of course Gates is sticking close to his roots and honoring the technology
that his most successful company developed.
Of the new venture's technology infrastructure, Bishop reported:
At the same time, it's no ordinary
office space. Visitors say it's fully stocked with Microsoft technologies,
including a Surface tabletop computer with a virtual guestbook application.
Go, Bill. Do your thing.
