   M$ has "donated" software to charities and schools in various 
countries worth "millions" but since they cost hardly anything to 
produce they have essentially donated nothing.  M$ has not donated 
significants amounts of cash.  Further their software gets their victims 
use to their drug and when they buy their own computer M$ makes more 
sales at their inflated prices!
