"Recently, I actually did switch to an Android phone," he said, speaking on Fox News on Sunday.
Microsoft's own Windows-powered phones have failed to make a significant impact on the smartphone market, which is dominated by devices running Google's Android operating system.
However, Mr Gates said he had installed lots of Microsoft apps on his phone.
When asked whether he also had an iPhone, perhaps as a secondary device, he replied: "No, no iPhone."
He did not reveal which particular smartphone he currently uses.

The chairman of the board.
No actual control, and only weak influence on product development. He held a lot of stock. Not any real control.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

There are many reports that he is not gone. He spends a lot of time with the current CEO. That may or may not count a "control" but it does count as heavy influence. Here it says it's a third of his time, however much that comes out to be:
He's never quite been officially gone, even under the previous M$ CEO [youtube.com], though his official time decreased to just a fifth of his time then, however much that came out to be. Now he's around for a least a "third". Is that 15 hours? 20 hours? 30 hours? 10 hours?
