Rog, As I am sure you know, your point holds no significance to the "evil" often spoken of with respect to M$ on or off this list. NO ONE has a problem with the charity M$ provides to the world. Much of the charity revolving around M$ has less to with them and more to do with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Warren Buffet donated the largest contribution ever given by a single person, 30.7 billion, to this foundation; a point equally as irrelevant to the "evil" perpetrated by M$. We all know the specific issues directly associated M$ antics, no need to repeat them here.
