    Well, I didn't know anything about Billys charity work until I read Newsweek magazine Febuary, 2002. I was quite surprised.

    To summarize:
    Bill and his wife, Melinda set up a foundation of 24 billion US$ and appointed Bills father as CEO ('cos Bill was been quite busy). The foundations mission is to promote health care in developing countries. Its the biggest in the world and is twice the size of the next largest foundation.

    "The Gates Foundation often makes grants only on condition that governments or other nonprofits match them, and requires that recipients meet regular goals for performance - or risk losing their funding. (That hardball approach has met with criticism from some members of the philanthropic community, who argue that holding people to ambitious standards may make sense in Redmond but not in places where millions can't read)."

    Seems he kicks ass in his charity works as well as with Microsoft.

    And then he gets linked with the Devil and gets called the next anti-christ... poor guy!.

    Or is it just a fiendishly clever plot?

    What makes me laugh is the fact that bill gates uses a mac! seems hes got a lot of faith in his own system. Realy this is true saw a documentry on him once where he admmited it. he is now trying to come up with a mac operating system to use with pentium type processors.

    cant wait I will definatly stop using windows if it happens its just not got the speed or power of a mac. By the way im using a packard bell 1.9 gig with 768 ram just so i can use lots of music programs at the same time.
