To be honest I think this ranks along with people who say princess diana did a 
lot for charity, maybe but it required very little effort on her part.. what 
else was she going to do with her time, Similarly what else is Gates going to 
do with his money..

Personally I think its outrageous to give someone a honour when their company 
is effectively "stealing" billions of pounds from the NHS budget due to 
monopolistic practices.

  regards,

 Dave.
