He is worthy of 20 most influential Americans of all time.It is so sad that he passed away.I admire him so much.
How is Steve Jobs worthy, and Bill Gates isn't? Bill Gates did/does alot more good for this world than Steve did.
----------
So Gates donates like 30B dollars to aid underprivileged people, and has vowed to donate ALL of his money to charity before he dies(could very possibly be in excess of 150B before it's all said and done, as he currently STILL has about 60B to his name and he's still fairly young) and yet he doesn't make the list?? But some hippy that did NOTHING to better humanity does?
Who cares that both of these men built multi-billion dollar companies?? What matters most is humanitarian practices, which Bill Gates will FAR surpass what any one individual has EVER done in their entire lives.
This.
I don't understand why people say " oh he just gives people money, he isn't really helping "
Bill Gates sees a charity, or people in need, or medical research with a lack of funds, or just people in need in general, or a cause that needs help.
So, there's monetary gain for Bill? Nope. He digs into his pockets, and hands out billions to those who need. it.
Who else gives away that kind of wealth? Steve Jobs sure didnt. In fact, Steve Jobs was an Elitist, he HATED the poor.
Why is there so much Bill Gates love? Even on a mac fourm?
Easy, its super easy to love a guy who's only care in the world at this point is helping people in need. By the time he's dead, he will have probably given away 100B billion ( yes, its totally possible, hes only in his 50s, still one of the richest men in the world, still rakes in cash, and super rich after giving away almost 30 billion dollars to the needy? ).
Its hard to hate Bill Gates after all the good he's done so far.

Oh hey! He's pledged 3.9 billion dollars in the past year alone to AIDS research.
Who did Steve ever help?
Bill Gates:
Gives billions to the poor, and yeah he isn't out in the trench's all the time, but I've followed the fondation over the years, and trust me. When he can, he gets invovled, gets his hands dirty, and pitch's in. In Addition to the billions given away every year.
What kind of guy gives away more money in a year to charity than some countries are worth? No matter how rich you are, I really do think it takes a HUGE heart, and a good mindset to do what he's doing.
Sorry, Bill Gates Deserves a spot on that chart, not Steve jobs. Not to mention bill gates built the most ground shaking OS of all time, its the OS that the majority of the computers in the world run on, Windows. I would say thats more of an accomplishment than making a tablet with 1 button.
