Here's a crazy idea for you, corperations, you know, like Microsoft, Nintendo, Apple and Sony are in the business of making money. They actually want you to buy their products so they can make a profit. The more products, the more money they can make. Shocking I know.pundogReally?!?! I thought they were all out to steal our monies. Kinda like the TC's 20 bucks.

In case you didn't get the memo Bill Gates is leaving M$ next year. It's not him it's the company that wants new markets. No matter how successful a company is the shareholders and board of directers always looks to the CEO for what he will do next to make the comapny expand and stay profitable.InfamousCread the article again..hes not going to be the CEO of microsoft next year..didnt say anything about him leaving.

Bill gates, even if he leaves his kids 1 billion each (although I remember hearing he's only going to give them 5 million) will still be donating more than $40-50 billion dollars.

Bill Gates does not equal Microsoft. Bill Gates doesn't see a cent from the games you buy nor he has anything to do with the decision making of Microsoft's game sector.

Just because you don't like Bill Gates, does not mean he has not be good for the world. He has work on making American HS up to par with the rest of the world. His work with Bono, and DATA has made great strides in Africa, so much so he named time man of the year for 2005 solely do to this charitable work. You can dislike his business strategy but you can say he has not been a humanitarian

Uh, the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is the most charitable organization in the world.:|joeblakAnd something like 40% of its assets go to the very same companies that cause the problems they profess to want to solve. Dark cloud over good works of Gates Foundation
In case you didn't get the memo Bill Gates is leaving M$ next year. It's not him it's the company that wants new markets. No matter how successful a company is the shareholders and board of directers always looks to the CEO for what he will do next to make the comapny expand and stay profitable.InfamousCThat is true, theres been lots of speculation that it was a defensive measure to protect their monopoly. Sony was pushing the PS2 as a computer (and is doing it even more with PS3) and Microsoft was afraid that it would only further erode their marketshare that has been getting slow-bled by open source OSes and programs and penalized in various anti-trust suites. [QUOTE="BosoxJoe5"] Bill Gates is worth about 60 billion. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will give all but .01% of net worth away buy the time he dies. Each of his kids will get about 10 million dollar. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation only donates something like 5% of it's assets yearly towards their professed goals, the other 95% is invested. That is poor even by non-profit standards (which is something like 15-20%).
Bill Gates has something like a 20% share in Microsoft, hes the largest shareholder in the company...so yeah, he does make money when Microsoft makes money (especially considering at least until next year hes CEO).Bill Gates does not equal Microsoft. Bill Gates doesn't see a cent from the games you buy nor he has anything to do with the decision making of Microsoft's game sector.

Yes Bill Gates makes money but indirectly, he makes money as a shareholder and spokesman. Just because he makes money as a shareholder does not mean he is responsible for the decisions which are made in the game division of Microsoft or any other division for that matter.
You again?Microsoft was trying to buy GTA IV and other PS3 exclusives to make more money ? Bill Gate I have like $20 do you want it ?

Heck, why not ask governments to stop spending money on arms and use the funds for education and stuff. That would have a bigger effect.

If you want those things like cure disease then work hard and you do it. Bill gates worked for his money. Also since you know he spends nothing on disease try researching. The man just in one donation spent 200 million of his own dime to Africa for aids. And has given so much more at other times. He gives more to fight aids then almost another other country. Plus other charities
[QUOTE="taker42"]Who gives a damn what a guy does with his own money as long as it ain't illegal.pundogWhen you have the power to eliminate things like poverty and disease you are held to a higher standard than the average person.
What really interests me is that people don't expect wealthy countries such as U.S and UK to eliminate hunger rather they look at individuals for this matter. I'm not saying its not Gates responsibility to help as a human being but rather when it comes to abolishing poverty it's a social responsibility rather than a individual one.

There won't be a cure for cancer and many other diseases like aids for a very long time as these are man made diseases to control population. A cure that is accessible by the mass public anyway.

I don't know about the people here, but I think that there are about 1 trillion better investments for that money. I live in Canada so I can't speak for Americans, but wouldn't you rather have a better education system or free healthcare? I know I would.
