Gates to meet with Sharon, executives on maiden visit:

Seventeen years after Microsoft began operating in Israel, the company's founder and chairman, Bill Gates, arrived yesterday for his first visit to the country.

Gates will not be leaving his hotel, the David Intercontinental in Tel Aviv, during the 24-hour lightning visit, except for a short meeting with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon elsewhere in the city. ...

Microsoft said only that the schedule suited Gates' itinerary: After Israel, he will be visiting Jordan. ...

Tomorrow Gates will be lecturing before 2,000 business leaders on the new work space, and visions of future software for business applications. He will also be meeting with 40 outstanding high school students to discuss technological innovation. He will be leaving Israel at 3 P.M.
