He does not look very happy in that picture, was he forced to step down?

I doubt it, I've seen that picture before. It's a stock photo of Gates
while he is giving some kind of speech from a few years ago. He was
probably giving a speech about how great Windows is, or how open source
is a virus, or something. That would explain the glum look. :-)

OK, possible ;-), but I did see an other one later on the web, where he was
with his successors...
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/17/te...gy/17soft.html

He almost looks sleepy.
I hope he wakes up, really...

It is perhaps possible he has seen the MS has reached max growth....
Dunno how you can make money with a charity, but if anyone can it is Billy.
40 billion capital, maybe he sold some MS shares....

Maybe he will install Linux Open Suse at home.

Maybe still pondering that pie he got in the face in Belgium(?) He was
*NOT* happy about that one.:-)

Or maybe he was about to do another live demo of plugging something
into the latest Windows beta? :PpP
