What a stupid "bash M$ and hit front page on digg" article.
As a bunch of the TC comments pointed out -- the $0.14/meal is the figure directly from the charity. They're not taking them out to a restaurant - it's a food bank with simple food sourced in bulk. The $.14/meal could be easily met at scale.
- physcab 17y agoThat's not the point of the article though. I agree that it's a bit misleading for Microsoft to say it's giving away 8 free meals for every download, just to promote it's own agenda (IE8 advertising). As the author stated, Microsoft should have just came clean and said it was donating $1 per download to fight hunger in America.
- Flankk 17y agoAgreed. $0.14 is a bowl of potato soup.
