Who gives a f....
Bill Gates is worth 50 billion or so. Someone with 50 billion donating 100 million is like someone with 100,000 giving away 50 bucks. He probably has stakes in LOTS of companies.

Of course, all the armchair quarterbacks on ZDNet won't see it that way. If THEY had 50 billion, they would NEVER have ANY trouble figuring out what percentage of a company they owned, because obviously they are far smarter than Gates.
