Gates donates to charity? Bullshit!

It SEEMS like Bill Gates donates to charity, but he definately doesn't! Yes, he gave money to local librarys to buy computers, but then ripped them off by selling Micro$lut for 2 times the usual cost! And he DOES doante to a charity company.... his own! He never gave a penny he didn't get back until the anti-trust cases started. Then, he gave a few million out. Recent reports show that M$ hasn't used its own money to make updates, it took the cash from the charity! One day, I found a site that "supported" Bill Gates' charity. But they told the truth! I clicked on the link and it brought me to a "Donate to MicroSoft" page, not a "Donate to Charity" page.

2 things:

1) Take your e-mail addy off. We can use the e-mail link rather than having your e-mail addy picked up by a spam bot.

2) He donates shitty, out dated computers with even shittier outdated OSes on them just to boost market share!

If you want more proof that Gates is a greedy bitch, just email me at   [email protected]   and I'll send you some more.

First, I believe that last part belongs in the signature section. But I agree with you. Gates has given my school $2 mil i believe, but that's after they make the school twice as big, and split it into 6 seperate "acadamies". Some of it will be used for grants, but i'm not planning to go to a 2 year public college. i was thinking 8 years at RIT. And of course our school district has well over $80,000 of microsoft software. i wouldn't be surprised if we reached as high as $150,000.

Some info can be found on my school's website. http://schools.mukilteo.wednet.edu/ma/academy/index.html but not much is explained in there.

Didn't billyg donate like $150 million to an AIDS foundation along with his wife?  as far as a i know that the most anybody has given to them and it was a real donation as well.

voidmain:
The question is "when did he donate any such money?" I think it would be far more apporpriate if he donated at least half of his money into creating Windows rehab centers. Sorta like gambling boats have to donate to gamblers anonomous.
