"Don't forget where all those billions came from.
YOU
You donated that money. In exchange for receiving crappy products and not being to able to buy other products which would likely have been better"

I knew it wouldn't take long for the Gates-hating, open source lunatics to show their snarly faces yet again , and prove to the entire world how really screwed up they are.
Why don't you go suck on a melon?
On the other hand I'd be perfectly willing to take you on usual if you feel like getting a mauling yet again. :)

Apart from the old debate about open source systems, Bill Gates was shamed into even thinking about philahthropy. Yes, it is our money. Yes, I feel good about where a lot of it is going.

But I also recognize that it is his relationship with wife, Melissa coupled with the stinging press of the late 90's that was probably the catalyst for his giving. It is after all The Bill and Melissa Gates Foundation.
