Jon Udell noted an odd statement in a podcast he listened to on social innovation:

I looked at Microsoft and Gates, and thought, this man has changed AIDS like nobody else has on the planet. He has brought more money than has ever been brought to the issue. He's brought the focus of somebody who knows how to grow a business. And he said We're going to change it.' But actually if you really wanted to change AIDS or poverty in the world, what you would do is give away Microsoft free as an open platform for people to share information.

Hmm - here's a question for the Nic Frances, the guy who said that: where does he think the money that Gates is giving to charity came from?
