This seems like great advice, or at least it's working out for me. I had the money before college to consider not going, but I never seriously considered it. If you get into a decent school, which most technically inclined people don't have a problem with, you'll meet a ton of smart students and professors.
For something like what you're doing, you will likely meet a lot of similar students in your CS classes, many of which who might not even care for college but go for other reasons (their parents value education, they want the college experience, etc).
I really agree with hedging your bets; if you have the happy problem of creating something that is worth dropping out to work on, more power to you.
