Microsoft Donates Double for Upgrades From IE6

[fpocztatemp]

M$ counts every cent. When my XBOX 360 broken because of Red Ring Of Death, they sent me a label for 1 pound that was rejected by UPS. Of course, they are not aware that XBOX weighs about 7 lbs. They don't have any live representative, just computers with prerecorded messages. And of course, they want to sell you the same Office every few years for five hundreds because it is not compatible with their new OS. It is hard for me to believe they will give anything for free to anybody. B. Gates was selling his book for money.

[citation][nom]ssalim[/nom]I don't understand this hate from you guys. Someone (who cares who) is doing good in this world and you want to exploit, ruin or mock it. Are you seriously dead inside?[/citation]
Indeed...
I watched a Bio on Bill Gates and his Wife, they do MEGA charity, i was really impressed.

[citation][nom]climber[/nom]I wonder if this is a US only initiative? Take large government organizations outside the US still using IE6? Would the contribute to programs in the native country from which the IP address originated?[/citation]

Only America has the spunk and the guts to let the free market allow people to starve.

Europe socialises food provision for the poor.

This is the INTERNET; hate, exploitation, mockery, and ruination are the norm. YOU guys are the ones who are wasting time and energy "complaining about complaining"...

Oh the ironing! Here comes another thumbs down from the thumbtards on Tom's!

Nice. Regardless of the intention, you can still help feed people by downloading, it's simple. For those that want to do more, props to you but this is so easy that it's a no brainer. Big thanks to tom's for posting the link, I have been trying to spread it as far and wide as I can.

Ms isn't doing this for the good of anything.

They are doing it for 2 reasons:

1) Free advertisement, maybe they will convert some people

2) They don't like the firefox download number, and want to boost IEs number. IE a pissing contest.

If you think they are doing it for the good of anything you are sadly mistaken.

Too bad the cap in the fine print says 1 million. It would be nice for the less fortunate if they had a higher cap.

+1 for offering my bandwidth to the poor.

what bullshit!!! I don't care if you say you will cure cancer there is no way i will upgrade to that!!

Wow, I can't believe the number of people who is mocking MS for this gesture. Who cares if MS is doing it for reasons related to business or competition of IE8 vs other Web Browsers or any other reasons. At least MS is helping and its worth the download. Nobody is forcing you at gun point to install *rolls eyes*.

Fail - Socialist Europe?.....Europe in whole should be ashamed. You are a shamble of your former selves. I won't even go further into this subject because I will run out of hair, toes, fingers, and limbs to count the facts of failed/failing socialist regimes/countries. *shakes head*

Last time I felt my heart was still pumping blood!!! and how am I exploiting it by downloading it many times, I get nothing for doing it, but needy people get food! At least here in the UK there is a safety catch net for underprivileged people and there is no need to starve or be without a home unless that is your choice to!!!!

Leave the UK out of that statement why don't you, the care for the underprivileged and well as the Health System in giving care to all is far better!
