In addition to The Gates Foundation that Bill and Melinda Gates founded - the world's wealthiest charity, Microsoft has their own charity matching and will match up to $15,000.00 to what an employee gives.

So if you donate $10,000 to Planned Parrenthood, Microsoft will donate another $10,000 in matching funds.  They encourage their employees to donate time and money. Summary:

• Microsoft employees have donated more than $1 billion, inclusive of the corporate match, since 1983.
• Microsoft employees in the U.S. have volunteered more than 2.5 million hours of their time to causes they care about since we began our volunteer match program in 2005.
• Since 1983, Microsoft and its employees have provided more than $8.5 billion in cash, services and software to nonprofits around the world.

I really do not see why everyone is being so negative. If people only understood how terribly designed their "i" products are they might understand. Apple products (excluding Macbooks) are the worst designs from major players in the market

I repair devices and PCs from every major manufacturer every day.

You lost me at "Yankees vs Red Sox;" I cannot go to a rivalry game without there being multiple fights in the stands lol.

I saw the title, and skipped over thiw thread because I thought this was a joke, but I just saw the commercial. That was a classy move. Doesn't change the fact that Windows Phone and Surface aren't doing so hot lol.

So i guess their funeral for the iPhone turned out to be premature

I work there, and I've never seen those people before. They must have hired a choir just for the occasion.

WHAT?!?! You mean those little children don't secretly work there, under the table to get by the child labor laws, either? 😦

Makes me cry! :')

That MS store is where i went to the halo 5 launch event.
