RE: IT Labor Shortage is Bogus

I'm no fan of MS or even of that of Bill Gates when it comes to IT.
However, the Foundation is amazing. I'm sure there are causes that we
may not agree with but as a whole - wow. Amazing philanthropy.

Am I the only one that thinks that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
is just another marketing tool for Microsoft?

Does it seem to anyone else that most of the grants are seed money to
get various organizations on the MS hamster wheel?
