When you say this is the Microsoft post you've had in your head "for quite awhile now" you're not kidding. I recognize pieces of this thing from conversations you and I had in 1998! Ha!

While I admire the philanthropic work of Bill and Melinda (she's hot for a geek wife right?) It's always struck me that the foundation could also have taken a more radical vision of the future because it jars with me when thinking about the tricky subject of managed population decline (a serious topic and not as left field as a quick scout around the web suggests The foundation are tackling problems without seeing a logically bigger problem ahead. However the point is I think Microsoft could leave something very interesting if it's raison d'etre was discussed more intelligently. It isn't just business. It's about a place in history which is within reach and I reckon MSFT could set a precedent inside and outside of Software. Just a quick ramble on things :) Easy to say and much harder to do I guess.
