"Ever since stepping back from Microsoft, Gates has grown to epitomize what might be considered the “Good Billionaire”: a civic-minded, awkward geek who showed how capitalism’s winnings can be marshaled to make the world a better place through philanthropy." And that he will always be. People are not fairy tale characters. They are flesh and blood. That Gates had an affair can never take away what he did for the world.

Thought Experiment: If I run into Bill Gates having coffee in a shop, I might even say Hi or at least smile and wave. If any one of the top 10 Russian/Saudi/Oklahoma oil "tycoons" who have a fraction of Bill's wealth were having coffee (Vodka?) I wouldn't smile or wave for fear they might break my fingers and torture me, my family and friends because why not?
