No matter how much you might hate Microsoft and its products, you cannot help praising its founder, Bill Gates and now, with today's announcement, Bill Gates will join such legendary tycoon-philantropists such as John Rockefeller.
In the end, it is all about legacy. It has been barely a couple of years since Dhirubhai Ambani passed away and his legacy is his two feuding sons. I think the only tycoon you might look upto and respect in India is Ratan Tata and of course, his foster father JRD Tata.
