People are giving advises all over the web, as if, getting to a point where you have $7B to spend is not a result of a series of wise decisions and solid strategy.

I am not a Microsoft fan to say the least, but boy, we understand that this is all your personal opinion, etc.

However, have you ever touched or got near by a pile of a billion dollars, that you allow yourself to make such strong opinion about? Did you ever have 1% of that money, or .1% of that money?

Everyone has the right to have an opinion, but please, assume "they" know facts and figures you don't.
