Microsoft founder Bill Gates takes his final lap around Washington, D.C., next week as company chairman when he testifies on March 12 at a hearing on the future of innovation and U.S. competitiveness. It will be interesting to see if lawmakers listen to what he has to say about the path of IT in a global economy.

Don't expect Gates to disappear completely from the political landscape. He's still very much "hands-on" in his foundation that is trying to deliver better health care around the world. And he remains a significant player in the efforts of industrialized nations to conquer the worldwide AIDS epidemic.
