Are there any more details into why he's doing this?

Maybe it has something to do with him being 70?

Wow. Even after you said it I didn't really believe it, but googling confirms it - born in '44. And I thought he was younger than Gates - not 12 years older.

Co-CEOs? I only know one company that had co-CEOs, and that didn't work out well for them.

I started digging into companies with Co-CEOs and found this: "Research by consulting firm Mercer found that as of the end of 2008, just 34 of 6,487 public firms, or 0.5 percent, had co-CEOs."
