I'm - making a difference with Microsoft
i’m, is the latest charity initiative from Microsoft. Every time you start a conversation using Windows Live Messenger™, Microsoft’s instant messaging service, the company shares a portion of the program's advertising revenue with some of the world's most effective charities for social causes. Microsoft have set no cap on the amount they’ll donate to each organisation. The scheme has raised just over $35 000 since March. Whilst this doesn’t sound so much from such a global orgisation, we might assume that people don’t know about it. So all we have to do is change our names and let Microsoft give generously.
