Firstly, "nobody" has to. Secondly, $1.3m might not be a MASSIVE amount in the grand scheme of things, but it's still something. Jesus....Neowin's going to pot with all these people now!
Do a little research into how much Bill Gates has donated to charity then come back and comment again. I'm sure he's donated much more than yourself.

A tax deductible is not a donation but a way to increase your own incomes.
Giving away money is only going to give them abit of publicity and make it seem like there good, but to be honest, $1.3m isn't a lot for one of the biggest companies and one with alot of money, and if they don't give money, there going to get these organisations breathing down there neck, as you would expect
Yes it's nice of them to give the money away and there helping them, I just think $1.3m isn't really a lot!
I'm not on about how much Bill Gates has given away, I'm talking about Microsoft, and yes I bet they have given a far amount away in the past.
I just hope (after your ignorant rant) that you have the "I'm" tag on your MSN name.
