You mean like he did in India? Where he donated $100m to fight HIV, but
what the "popular press" (the daily papers like the NY Times) *didn't*
report was the he gave $421m to help the Microsoft jihad against Linux.
In other words, to Gates fighting the adoption of Linux in India was *far
more important*.

And furthermore, it’s an established fact that Microsoft contributed
millions of dollars to the SCO Group, a corporation that shocked the Linux
community with a sensational lawsuit, primarily targeting IBM. 
However when things started going south, they *quickly* withdrew the
"contribution" leaving SCO high & dry.

And an interesting sidenote, some medical researchers have complained that
the Gates Foundation is actually *compromising* their efforts.
