He is the chairman of Microsoft, the 3rd richest person in the world (estimated wealth of $58 billion), a philanthropist, and he was named one of the most influential people in the 20th century according to Times. Yet to some, he is one of the most hated person in the world.
During the landmark United States vs Microsoft case, I used to remember how I booed and jeered at everything uttered by Gates, his lame behavior in court, and their totally evil world-domination plans. Finally he is retiring.

But I cannot deny that he has contributed immensely to the world we now live in. None of whatever I am doing now would have been possible if not for Microsoft. And now he is doing even greater good in charity work.
This post is for a sometimes flawed but still very great person.
