Hackborn apparently stepped down from Microsoft's board in 2000. I doubt Dick has been having much fun with this mess but I am going with his judgement.

REDMOND, Wash. -- Sept. 28, 2000 - Microsoft Corp. today announced that
Paul Allen is assuming a new role as senior strategy adviser to top Microsoft
executives. The company also announced that Allen and Richard Hackborn
have decided not to seek re-election to Microsoft's board of directors at the
company's November shareholder meeting.

"Both Paul and Dick have made important contributions to the Microsoft
board," said Gates. "We are grateful for their insight and guidance over the
years, but we also understand their desire to focus their limited time on
other projects."

Hackborn's resignation from the board is prompted by his desire to spend
more time on personal and philanthropic pursuits. Hackborn, 63, has
served on the Microsoft board since 1994. He stepped down as chairman of
the board of Hewlett-Packard Co. last week, but will remain on the
Hewlett-Packard board. He retired from Hewlett-Packard in 1993 as the
executive vice president of the Computer Products Organization.

Gates said Hackborn's experience and understanding of the industry were
invaluable as Microsoft negotiated its way through the evolution of the
Internet in the 1990s.
