26. Give it up, shill. It's not just that his "foundation" is a tax shelter,
He also gave $3 mil to the December Asia Tsunami fund and then said he did (the Bible sayeth (and this is paraphrased) that the only real charity is the anonymous kind). That's all good, but that's like 0.00006% his net worth.

Now if I gave 0.00006% of my net worth and then told everybody I had done so, I'd be laughed out of this planet.

And his only endowment worth talking about is his financial worth. By the way, did you know that your god gates ditched the dollar in favor of the euro in Jan 2005 and then mocked how the dollar was going down? Not very nice for a guy who claims to be a "philanthropist".

He's also working on new technologies to render PCs obsolete AND generate the next generation of steady revenue. Subscription licensing to web-based software. Piracy = 0.00000. Pay to use. Privacy = nil.

He also offshores enmasse, shows signs he's only going to continue to do so, and then tells us all to study software engineering. With the nunber of unemployed programmers in America, I bet Microsoft could hire them ALL and still have tens of billions left over.

Yeah, he's a real hero. :spit:

I could go on for ages.

LOOK at his business practices. He is a vulture and a leech. He's little better than Walmart.
