Leopards changing their spots? I'm not so easily swayed.

I don't really see it as changing his spots. More like adjusting his aim for more grandiose goals. You can be the most brilliant business man of a generation, Thomas Watson Sr. for example, and 5 years after you've left your corporate leadership position you're barely even a footnote.

I'm sure Gates realizes his former glory at MS is no more significant than the company is at any given point in time. But build a foundation that lasts for a century or 2 and you're Somebody. You don't take the path or make it as far as he has if that isn't important to you.

And yeah, everything has a price but that's true whether you're getting it from Bill Gates or Ghandi. That's just called Tuesday.
