Regardless of what some people may think of Microsoft you have to give them credit for making computers accessible to the masses without tying it to expensive proprietary hardware.

 

And Bill Gates has done so much charity work it's ridiculous.

I know, most rich people throw a few coppers down, at the very least. Ted Turner is famous for donating a billion dollars to charity.

All of this pales in comparison to what Gates has done already. He has donated tens of billions of dollars, built a giant, incredibly powerful charity dedicated to education, and is continuing to donate. He could have done 1/10th as much as he already has done and people would have said he's "giving back." He didn't stop then, and he continues to give so much money to worthy causes it's absolutely stunning.
