The legacy of this man! Microsoft itself made plenty of impact on the world and now this? He's gotta be by far the most influential person our generation.

I will, at least, sooner join a cult of Gates than a cult of Jobs.

But don't forget about Major Barbara: philanthropy doesn't cancel out wrongdoing.

His wrongdoing being, what, that he charged for Windows?

His wrongdoing is all of his educational policies and pushing. But his philanthropy is really good.

Bill Gates is really good with funding charities. He's taken a big step with trying to eliminate easily curable diseases in Africa, which major pharmecutical companies won't touch because they can't/will not make a profit.

Only read a small part of the article though, I'll give it a full read later.
