Pretty cool that he plans to give up just about all his money to charity when he retires, seems like a nice thing to do. I guess at the end of the day having a billion pounds and 100 billion there really is no difference, you still have more money than you can spend. |

I like Gates a lot and hold him in high regard. He's the only great philathropist of our generation. There just aren't many people nearly as generous as him. While he may be the IT anti-christ, he's still a much better person than a lot of other CEOs. I'd hate to hear that he only gives to charity for publicity and tax breaks. It's much nicer to think that he's genuine, and from all accounts, he is the real thing.  ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

Not sure I would go as far to describe him as a philanthropist but he
sure is a nice guy from the sound of things. His donations do
seem pretty private which does suggest they aren't designed to
partly/wholy promote his company, often I hear people say "Bill Gates
is so selfish he never gives any of his moolah to charity" when he does
quite regually as I understand. |

| When you have the much money I see it that you have a responsibility to give something back to the society that made you into who you are. |
