Microsoft and donations.

No, he started contributing as early as 1992.

Do you know of a place where we can examine his contributions? I am very confident that we can find in nearly every case that he did not do it out of the kindness of his heart. Would be more than happy to examine the list.

You can try gatesfoundation.org, and microsoft's giving page (215 million last year, apparently). Don't know about the more detailed reports, must be some USA goverment body that holds and releases this info, isn't that a requirement in US. After all most of it is for tax break and marketing reasons.
For some reason Opera does not want to connect to the microsoft site, not sure why - maybe my app. is scared it may catch something, ha ha ha.
I hate gatesie and what he does professionally, but donating may be genuine, maybe his wife is a really nice person.

Naw she can't be, she was a M$ coder. Didn't I hear recently that they were having marriage trouble? And I would prefer not to read the articles on the M$ sites as they surely won't tell the whole truth (besides, I block all outbound to M$ so there's no chance of any of my machines talking to them).
