Microsoft The world's richest man talks about developing new drugs to combat AIDS, open-source software and why Microsoft's still cool after all these years. Gates: "We encourage everyone to develop in our environment. Free software's nothing new... There was an early browser, an early mail program. But as times moved on, it's been the commercial programs that get the support, get the richness."

Do you people honestly believe that only the money you donate to charity _actually_ saves lives. It seems to me that you poo-poo all that MS has done for charity as if billions of dollars vapourize and don't cure the sick people living in poor countries, just because the money is from Microsoft!

Have some bloody respect!
