I don't think it's just the third world that will get the benefits, I think that's just where it's been the easiest/cheapest place for Bill's wife and dad to make a difference so far. I mean, Gates' charity hasn't even spent much $$ yet. They started it with $4-9 billion...now it's at $29billion before Warren's contributions. Bill and Buffet think big...I guarantee they've got bigger ambitions. Bill has still been working at MS. Once he's done there, he'll eventually spend some money some place people can see it.

Buffet has always worried about the global population, etc...I'd say that will play into it somwhere along the way as well.

What do I know..but Warren's made some pretty good decisions in the past, we'll have to see how this one plays out.
