Umm ... guys I take back my statement. Bill is one of the world greatest philanthropists. Despite the shortcomings of this particular campaign lots of MS $ are going to charity through the Bill and Mellinda Foundation.

Saying this will cost me some karma but trust me my real world karma will go up having realised how unfair my critique was.

Selling MSFT stock to fund a charity is not the same thing as MSFT funding that charity.
