The scarry part of this is:

"At the forum itself, Gates announced a partnership with the United 
Nations (news - web sites) to bring computer technology and literacy to 
developing countries.

Drawing on a $1 billion Microsoft fund, the U.S. software giant will 
work with the U.N. Development Program to provide software, computer 
training and cash to establish computer centers in poor communities, 
starting with pilot projects in Egypt, Mozambique and Morocco."

We all know his purpose behind this effort.
