| 176629 | 2003-09-23 01:13:00 | Dont really care if Mr gates sponsors Kings or All Blacks! :D All i ask Mr gates is to setup a R&D or just expand its operations in NZ creating 1000 odd jobs. It would certainly help us IT graduates who have such a hard time getting a job. Even the janitors at MS in redmond get a decent income!! Hope Mr gates gets to read this thread somehow :D :D |

You've put a smile on my dial for the day! *Clicks* I s'pose ya can turn that around and make it about Linux too.. RedHat are only just turning over a profit ;-) |

If it works anything like it does in NZ, you get the tax that was paid on the donated money back - if he didn't donate the money, he wouldn't "need" any of it back - it's not making him richer by donating. $200m donation is still huge, and that's a very generous donation. How can you sit there and say that someone isn't as generous as he likes us to think when he's donating more money than most of us will ever see in our lives... possibly combined :D Mike. |

| 176637 | 2003-09-27 11:19:00 | He's got more than enough to lead a good life. He should keep enough to keep himself stable for the rest of his life and donate the rest to good causes. Anyway, what he should be pouring all that money into is making Microsoft a good company. THE WHOLE MICROSOFT FRANCHISE IS AS CORRUPT AS STALIN! | smashedlittlebugger (4397) | ||
