Every time some one visits and watches a Microsoft commercial, Microsoft Australia will donate $ 1 to Smith Family Learning For Life Program. It is a Foundation which helps disabled kids with their education. So all you are in need to do is visit Help Aussie Kids Get A Great Education web site and watch the 35 secs introduction video, in which a 9 year old Aussie kid speaks about Office 2007, and Microsoft will donate $ 1 to the Foundation. Requires Silverlight.
Nothing that gives for "free" is ever a companies primary goal... anytime you hear a company say their name with a donation it's obviously advertising.... unless they make an anonymous donation with no related advertising campaign tied to it, it has an another motive behind it
Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. It's good for the people receiving the donation, helps the company's image, and in this case, will help push the Silverlight platform (Which I rather like.)
That being said, I clicked the link and figured hey lets help an aussie kid, but it told me I was ineligable because I already viewed the movie.
So either someone else that lives in this house and shares this Road Runner connection (no, there isnt, and I have had this same IP for months now, and I live alone)... Or there is something a little fishy here.
Many broadband ISPs use that.
