Never heard of this 'rabbit hole / finger food' person.
With a name like that it's best to lie low.

Re: Gates is not the richest

Warren Buffett is also a giver to good causes, the same good causes Bill Gates gives to infact!

BBC NEWS | Business | Buffett donates $37bn to charity

ps. Microsoft are not going to raise prices on this, Bill doesn't even play an active role in microsoft now.
