He basically stepped down from active management with the birth of his second child. (Ballmer became CEO in Jan 2000).

Ah, I was under the impression that he had stepped down in 2008. But that was probably from any activity at Microsoft and 2000 was when he relinquished the CEO title. Thank you for clarifying that. It does sound like that may be more closely related than I thought.
