Gates' legacy will ultimately be his foundation, more so than Microsoft.

That can't happen. The foundation was completely dependent on Microsoft happening, so the story of Bill Gates will be in two parts. Part 1: Microsoft. Part 2: Gates Foundation.

Carnegie's steel built America. It's a hell of a legacy.

The Gates Foundation's answer to the thousands of public libraries Carnegie built is . . . the Khan Academy?

If I were a bettin' man I'd wager that more people have access to the internet than to public libraries.

Also, no one ever snags that last book that you really need for class. (Instead publishers charge you out the ass for a digital copy you dont even own!)

233 million lessons delivered so far isn't such a bad start..
