Microsoft Philanthropy

Microsoft donates Windows licenses to schools.

Windows has already been made, so donating licenses costs almost nothing.

Microsoft gets:

1. tax breaks for the full market price of the licenses.

2. good publicity for its generous donation.

3. mindshare, by locking in a whole generation of students into Windows.

4. to fend off FOSS by positioning itself as the de facto standard.
