Gates is no hero for Microsoft, but his philanthropic efforts are probably heroic.



Even if his philanthropy allows him to pressure governments to change intellectual property laws around the world?


[flagged]


Interesting dilemma that.

The good his foundation does is much greater than the evils Microsoft have done, perhaps.


Was Robin Hood a hero?


No, he wasn't real.


Robin Hood has more reality to me than grogenaut does. Funny how that works, considering that presumably you have a human body and Robin Hood never did.


Given grogenaut is an internet personality, this is entirely true understandable.
