Yesterday I noted that Microsoft had made no mention of tsunami relief on their home page, as opposed to Apple. Today this appeared in a related post on BoingBoing:
Following up on a previous BoingBoing post, an anonymous Microsoft employee says:
Responding to this: “Reader J. Hahn says, ”I am particularly impressed with Amazon.com’s Red Cross donation counter that proves Americans are not ‘stingy.’ Also, as a Mac user, I was proud to go to the apple.com site and see not one product ad on their front page – just links to aid and donation sites, and Microsoft had not one mention of the disaster.“
Most of Microsoft’s efforts regarding Tsunami relief is focused internally. MS offers a dollar for dollar charitable donation match to all FTE, and is doing everything it can to expidite the process of trying to get the money to where it will do the most good.
My bad, and my apologies to Microsoft and it’s employees.
