I am not sure what you folks think of him, but for me… Bill Gates is a key figure who shapes the world for the past two decades.
Without him, the personal computer (and software) industry probably won’t boom at such a pace… and without the boom, our internet won’t have the chance to prosper as it is, and people around the world would not be able to communicate as easily now.
So, it’s a huge thank you to Bill… and hope he enjoy his philanthropic life and continue making the world a better place.
