A BBC presenter, Fiona Bruce, follows Bill Gates as he leaves Microsoft, the software giant he co-founded with Paul Allen. Gates has revolutionized the world with his firm but is also known for his ruthless and controversial business practices that have resulted in Microsoft being sued by the US government.
Aside from his philanthropic work, Gates has a softer, more compassionate side as well. Through his Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, he has donated billions to charities. Featuring interviews with Gates' close friends, colleagues, and competitors, Fiona Bruce analyses the threats posed by internet-based companies to Microsoft as Gates embarks on his personal quest to give away large portions of his fortune.
