Well, he co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates, so I'd call him a focused businessman. He was the technological side of the business - the side that actually had to deal with the details of making everything actually work. Without Allen, Bill Gates would of been nothing more than another small time hustler, commonly found during the earliest years of the PC.

I'd call Mr. Allen a visionary who is several years ahead of the mainstream business community, and has therefore decided to spend billions of his own money to shape the future of the information age.

He is a leader, and not a follower, with a keen sense of technology and it's future direction. He was both a founding father and promising child of this new age. He understands it as only an insider could, and he appreciates the profound impact that technology, and the internet in particular, will have on all aspects of our lives.

I personally think his vision offers extraordinary insights, and extremely lucrative business potential :-)
