Check the fine print at the bottom.
Microsoft® is donating $1.15 per download to Feeding America® up to a maximum of $1,000,000.
If each download is 1.15 and each download is 8 meals that's 14c a meal.
Ignore that ..........let move to the next issue
Why the million dollar maximum does Microsoft fear that a download frenzy will put a hole through their pocket jeez!?
Anyway just downloaded it and will install it when it rains cats and dogs. lets all download it guys ...four times if you feel like it...we be Robin Hoods stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.
- barredo 17y agoWhat's $1M for Microsoft? This is outrageous on so many levels...
- gambling8nt 17y agoI expect they are more afraid of a single individual (or a concerted group of individuals, possibly going by the name "anonymous") downloading N copies for large values of N.
- blackvine 17y agoUmm ... guys I take back my statement. Bill is one of the world greatest philanthropists. Despite the shortcomings of this particular campaign lots of MS $ are going to charity through the Bill and Mellinda Foundation. Saying this will cost me some karma but trust me my real world karma will go up having realised how unfair my critique was.

- absconditus 17y agoSomeone should start a campaign to push downloading of Firefox and Chrome as well as donating to Feeding America. I'm sure we could donate more than $1 million. I realize this someone should probably be me, but I'm lazy.
