I have for the last few years personally thought about this many times over.
I am from India and understand the problems that Bill Gates is trying to help solve, with his money, management skills and time.
I am a tech fan-boy and love good gadgets, I work hard to earn and buy a gadget. But people like me are minority. And moreover those gadgets die in 3 years flat.
For countries like ours, it is crucial to solve the socioeconomic problems and head towards a better tomorrow. In that respect what Bill Gates has been doing, has inspired me to think differently. He has made capitalism also look much better (I come from communist backgrounds). You earn and then you give back, the way you want to, where you want to.
Having an impact on actual living conditions of people is far more important than building better OS with a Metro UI or even a better phone with dual cores.
