Hey Wiis,

Thought I'd let you all know about a worthy campaign launched today.

Microsoft has launched a campaign to raise $100,000 for The Smith Family's Learning for Life program.

All you do is watch a short Microsoft Office 2007 Charity demo and Microsoft will donate $1 to The Smith Family

From May 15 2008, for every short Microsoft Office 2007 Charity demo that is viewed, Microsoft will donate $1 to The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program.

Help Microsoft reach the $100,000 goal and Aussie kids get the education they need for a brighter future.

Visit www.Microsoft.com.au/ for more information.

If you knew anything about Bill Gates you'd know how much he gives to charity... you can hardly claim they don't do their part for charity.

Doors.... its a fair question. The answer is they DO donate... they've been sponsoring The Smith Family for years. And yes of course Bill Gates runs the biggest charity in the world (worth $40 Billion).

Just wanted to say thanks for looking into it, anyway, guys...

They've raised around $1500 so far... its a slow start for sure but I'm hopeful.

Dont forget you can watch the clip once per day and raise even more.

Cheers guys...!

They want to adevertise their products in a more productive way.
Saying money will go to a charity IF you watch a movie is going to reel people in.

Well it's been 2 weeks and over $4000 has been raised! Great work and thank you to those who participated.

www.microsoft.com.au/

The site has been optimised and loads much quicker now - so if you had trouble before, give it another whirl. Microsoft Australia still has plenty of money to donate - up to $100,000.

And dont forget that you can watch the clip again every 24 hours and raise even more cash for the Smith Family!

Thank you...!

PS: Spread the word...

2 weeks and only $4000. That's $11/$12 an hour. Wow. Now that's going to hit Microsoft in the hip pocket for sure.
