I already knew of this. Gates may not be the CEO of Microsoft, but he has complete sway on what happens. He went from "King" to kingmaker.

I guess the most damning things he has done recently, I have heard through trustworthy sources. The claim is that Gates foundation does indeed do good work, but they also greatly encourage their money to pay software licensing fees (read: MSWindows and MSOffice). Their form of greatly encouraging is very similar to their bulk rates that allow snooping their networks for compliance.

Be aware, I have no direct proof. I only have the word from a close friend who does work in 3rd world countries.
