I watched something on discovery about him doing the charity thing. Apparently its a lot more than 0.5% and he and his wife actually goes out to make sure his moneys being spent on the right things. At least he's actually helping the world, if more of the richest people in the world did that kind of thing who knows. Like these oil rich peeps, one of them had there name dug out in a
desert so you could see it from space, imagine the money to do that!
But, but...... nobody can possibly like Bill Gates, come on, he is number one arch demon, walking spawn of Bezelbub, the ant-christ and a rotter. Everybody knows that and it is super fashionable not to like Bill Gates so ner ner.
Everybody also knows Firefox is the right thing and thousands of people every day day feel smug using Firefox cos they then think they're clever and it's a blow to Microsoft. It's true innit?
Ok, I suppose it's better to bring some comfort and good feeling than not to, whatever the amount given so for that I begrudgingly salute him and his missus. But come on, all that cash and he's retired with nothing to do, don't take a lot of effort does it?
Ok, ok, what he does is good. I suppose. Grrrrr.
One positive thing, for all that you don't like about Bill gates he was infinitely preferable to Steve Ballmer...
