    @Crunchette

    I was wondering the same thing - while Bill is obviously, based on his past business behavior, a souless monster in that arena - his foundation has done very good work and he seems to understand that his legacy will be that, not the number of Windows licenses he sold. I'm not saying he's nice or amythign, simply that he seems to have done the calculus and figured out the best road to immortality (though not as good as Woody Allan's method - not dying).
