Yeah, I doubt he cares about the money at this point, and he did leave MSFT, so I'm guessing he isn't interested in selling. He also went out of his way to use Linux to stick it to MSFT.

As long as he runs the company, I don't see it happening.

Even if he left the company he still has over 50% ownership.

Only if he decides to retain his stake. Let's say he dies, perhaps his heir chooses to sell instead of stay involved in the company.
