Upgrade from IE 6 and MS will double their donation. Cheap way of getting installs? Or excellent public service?

Cheap way of getting installs? Or excellent public service?

Neither Its just publicity
theyve put a cap at $1 million dollars which is less than 1 million downloads

A year ago firefox was downloaded 8million times in 24hours
Perhaps IE8 will not be that fast but its certain they have passed the $1million figure, yet MS will keep advertising the 'download and help the poor' even if its not true any more.
Quite a smart move

All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion

Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

jarrod said:The Xbox360 or ps3 will not sell more than 75million units

July 2009 daveJ said: True the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii

2009 daveJ said: The wii will not break the 50% marketshare barrier it will go below the 40% marketshare barrier though in the future. VGChartz members: Impossible, youre an idiot that knows nothing about sales
