Give me a chance..I have, you know, responsibilities
While their "donations" seem noble, at bottom, while not every donation comes with some kickback, I;m sure it at least smoothes people over for something at a later date. Granted, even if Bill's true intentions are dubious, these people are nonetheless getting some kind of benefit, so there is some goodness to it. However, I'm sure that if not right away, then at some point, Bill will go to a school or government and say "look we gave you a few hundred million three years ago, can you work with us now?" Gee, Africa has been big on linux. I wonder if this has anything to do with it.

"As to trying to make their products the standard the world over, that sir is what EVERY FOR PROFITT company hopes for and tries to do. It's called business..."

Big deal. Drug kingpins look to make as much money as they can. Doesn't in any way justify it. I have no problem with a company's desire to make money, so long as they don't break laws or look to subvert the free market process.
