Well, the whole thing seems rather off-topic, and I also believe this has been discussed before. Personally, I like to think that the days of "Gates vs. Jobs" and "Macs vs. PCs" are largely over. There will always be idiots fighting over such inconsequential topics, of course. But I hope that most people have moved on and realized that it's really not that important. Jobs certainly isn't a saint, and Gates is a world-renowned philanthropist. It doesn't have much to do with the Windows and Mac OSes. Nor do I feel it's entirely my business to be judging the ultra-rich based on how much money they give to various causes. I applaud Gates for donating so much of his time and money to worthy causes, and I wish Jobs would do the same, but if he doesn't want to, it's not really my concern. And like the article said, there's always the possibility that he's doing so anonymously.
