HappySqurriel : The Melinda Gates fundation is NOT MS. So no, MS has done nothing to help anyone.
MS gives money to Melinda gates fundation as a mean to escape taxes. There's a reason the fundation is owned by Gates' wife and not Gates himself. Then, Melinda Gates fundation does its work of PR for Gates name, hiding the bad they do at the same time, which is far worse than the good. Africa is a pretty telling example.
It works pretty well, but it worked for the Robber Barons too, so "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose".
