Frankly I think too many people think Bill Gates is the centre of the tech industry world. One of these days the guy's going to have to die of old age and then what? Do you think the world will implode on itself.
If Gates folds for whatever reason that simply means change, if anything the abundance of good operating systems that have been around prove that replacements aren't too hard to find. If you think Windows is a cut above every other operating system that's been around then you're simply fooled by all the third parties bending over backwards to write applications and drivers for Windows. That is something that would simply have happened to some other OS had Microsoft and Bill Gates never been.
That said Gates founded the company, the founders of companies should never be cut out of the picture unless they choose to sell their stake. He could loose his position as CEO, but he shouldn't loose the voting power his stock grants him.

He's just a large shareholder that has an office, makes pretty speaches and perhaps throws ideas around. He doesn't really manage anything.

"Can I choose Bill Gates"
Sure, then he says "ok, F it" and leaves and sells all his stock, which causes MS stock price to dive which then causes the whole tech industry to dive.
