"Billg's personal $100 million goes to health initiatives over ten years, 
while $421 million of Microsoft's money goes, over a mere three years, to 
support MS-friendly development and 'educational' initiatives."

Not sure whether to be pleased about Billg's concerns about Linux, or 
concerned that the funds are being drawn from more needy causes.

I guess we all make choices, and it's their money.

All the best
