Microsoft founder Bill Gates and wife Melinda split. The Journal reported that Gates resigned before the board's investigation was finished, citing another person familiar with the matter. Earlier this month, Bill and Melinda Gates announced that they were divorcing after 27 years of marriage but would keep working together at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, one of the largest charitable foundations in the world. Earlier Sunday, The New York Times reported that Gates had developed "a reputation for questionable conduct in work-related settings." The Times reported that on at least a few occasions, Gates made overtures to women who worked for him at Microsoft and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
