Indeed.
Personally I respect Bill Gates a lot more. He basically spends all his time working on his charity nowadays; he really couldn't care less about the future of his company. Jobs is good for Apple, but I think Gates is better for the world.

i remember his talk at TED where he released mosquitoes in the audience. his goals are pretty clear, invite other people to care.
sorry, but it doesn't work like that if you keep it to yourself.
and i'm by no mean belittling buddhists or anything...
I also don't think you are in any position to be telling us why Bill Gates is giving his money away. Maybe he just wants to give it away because it makes him feel good. Every wednesday night my girlfriend spends 6 hours working with people with disabilities. When she comes home, she is beaming. Helping other people is the most rewarding of activites in its own right, try it some time.
Yes, it is.
Yup. Go read up what happened to Go Corporation. http://bit.ly/nsNkIY
"The lawsuit also claims that Microsoft stole Go technology, that the company threatened Intel, which had invested in Go, and that it used "incentives and threats" to coerce Compaq, Fujitsu, Toshiba and other computer makers not to use Go's operating system."
Many of the business practices Microsoft engaged in was illegal, so he illegally screwed over competitors. Not very ethical.
