'Microsoft will be a footnote in the life of Bill gates and it will be his philanthropy that will really make his mark on the world'. Microsoft will never just be a footnote- he was one of the pioneers of a technological revolution that changed the whole world. That will always be important.
it seems like that man at 3:55 can't believe Bill would do altruistic work and needs to find a cynical ulterior motive. if he was spending all that money to win a Nobel peace prize, he would focus on work that is more relevant to arms and conflict rather than fighting disease.
Clarifying : All money after the first 5 million a year should go to charity. 5 million a year is more then enough to live the best possible life on this earth..no point in hording it all away.
So your take is because he fought hard against competition he felt so sinful he needed to help poor people around the world to feel better about him self....NO....sure doing philanthropy give some kind of self satisfaction, but mostly its the right thing to do when you have the amount of money no one person should have. All rich should be doing this, but they don't. If you make more then 5 mill a year, it should go all to helping someone.
The upshot of this documentary is an intelligent young man who got lucky when offered $ for his software, who become a formidable capitalist, who broke the law in trying to illegally monopolise & push out competition, got fined, failed to capitalise on Internet and then (praps wanting to go out on a high note,] he left the Co. --- now trying to make amends by philanthropy..
he's leaving because he knows microsoft is going down the toilet, can't compete against google. and apple. the only reason he made it so far is because his monopoly, and don't want to leave microsoft after is worthless, or anyone thinks he is going to lock himself in a lab and found the cure for everything, just give the money to best scientist and let them do what they know best and keep sending the company down the toilet, the price of the shares are all ready down. is like bono useless idiots
