One thing though: don't think that Microsoft does all that charity out of the goodness of their hearts. Although it may be partially true, the deciding factor is tax cuts. If Microsoft wasn't to pay out all kinds of money in charity, taxes would be FAR higher for the company. FAR higher. It's a tax move. Again, it's smart business. Regardless of the intention, many people benefit, and that makes it a very good thing, whether their intentions are noble or not.

Of course. And also, if they didn't give charity, then they'd have a lot more people hating them.

The more well-known you are, the more people that hate you. Basic human psychology.

I could say many bad things about the pope... though in the end they'd probably be more directed at the religeon than the man...

Charity is deducted penny for penny from taxes, but you still have to give it away. Nobody gives to charity *because* of tax reasons.

If (lessened (sp?) tax + charity) < (normal tax) then yes = TRUE :P
I don't know if so is the case though...
