Actually, you could extend that argument to say that any money Bill G gives to charities comes from his Shareholders, or even the customers that buy the software. Yes, I know that when we pay for software, we are buying the use of a product, but it could also be argued that when a company pays and employee, they are paying for services rendered by that employee.
But, I must say, Microsoft have created some very good software (some bad as well), and credit is due to Bill G for donating a LOT of money to charity (whereever it came from) that otherwise may not have gone to charity.
