I know hating is easy, but this is a genuinely commendable thing that the Gates are doing, and they deserve praise for it. If you want to call out Gates, you can criticize his attitude towards closed source software, IP, etc, but his charity contributions are awesome. Compare him and his family with the current generation Waltons, for example.

>I know hating is easy No, ass kissing is easy. Looking at the bigger picture and accounting for negative externalities is hard. And, it's much harder when one is surrounded by ass kissers who are willing to gloss over negatives in their rush to pucker up. It's about net sum gains for society. Bill Gates hasn't achieved that. He and his business practices have been a net loss for society overall.
