Bill Gates prepares to step back from day-to-day work at Microsoft, and the BBC's Money Programme gets access most journalists never do. Fiona Bruce interviews Gates directly as he shifts his attention toward giving away the fortune he built, and she puts the same question to his friends, colleagues, and rivals: what happens to Microsoft in a world without him running it. The film does not skip the rough parts of the record, including the US government's antitrust suit against the company and the harder edges of Gates's management style that made him as many critics as admirers. It also looks at Microsoft's position as internet-based competitors start eating into the dominance Windows and Office once had unchallenged. Archival material traces the long hours and risk-taking that built the company from its early days, but the hour is really about the handoff, an unusually candid look at a famous executive at the exact moment he starts becoming someone else, a philanthropist instead of a CEO.
