Yeah I have to admit there is very likely a hidden agenda however after 
doing the daily Grok, here is a link directly off the site.

Approx 50 % for global health.  How much truth is there to the figures, 
I'm not sure.  Just another angle.  If PJ is posting it on her site 
there might be just a bit of truth to it.

Please don't get me wrong I am not in any way a Micro$oft supporter 
however I will give credit where credit is due.
