There does seem to be an increasing tendency amongst the Linux Detractors to guess what will be said next. Is it just impatience at the thought of waiting for a reply, or wishful thinking? I have certainly criticised Microsoft "contributions" in the past. Always, this has been when such "contributions" involve things like "$100 Million to African schools", when the amount is calculated at the retail value of licences for MS software that are being donated. This one in particular is very different. This looks like cash, so kudos to the Gates Foundation. As to my own contribution, it looks as though our government has done it for me - an extra $1.3 Billion of *new* money - i.e. over and above anything already pledged for foreign aid. That amounts to an extra $20 for every man, woman and child in the U.K. In fact, it looks like:- U.K. $1.3 Billion Gates Foundation $1.0 Billion Norway $0.677 Billion U.S.A. $0.450 Billion You might like to reflect on the populations of the counties to which those figures pertain. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-13751809
