Donate 30 seconds, and Microsoft will donate to charity
Mikey 7 comments
If you can spare 30 seconds of your time (and another minute to install the Silverlight plugin - there had to be a catch!), Microsoft will donate one dollar to the The Smith Family, a charity that supports disadvantaged Australian children. At the time of this writing, donations are up to $1068, but Microsoft may donate up to $100,000.
All you need to do is head on over to this page and listen to a 9 year old describe what it's like to use Microsoft Office, and Microsoft will make the donation. Too easy.

...in response to this comment by Kim OJ. Ah now way? I already have it installed so I wasn't nagged. I have posted an update.

...no I am not bitter.
