The point isn't to make every one of these kids a Bill Gates, it's to prevent the Bill Gates among them from living a life of poverty because they couldn't get a computer early enough.

And I guess the government didn't give the PC to everyone because "oh we need to stop our Bill Gates to run out of the country". But rather, their interest was to give equal opportunity to those in need.
