When I click on the link you gave, there's a "page not found" message from "Windows Live Messanger", so I don't know where you took this link from, or if you made a mistake. If this IS what it's supposed to be, then it's definitely bogus. Also, I don't get it how clicking on a link would make microsoft donate more money. If someone wants to donate money, they just do it without such weird behaviour. I've seen similar "charity" scams before.
This is the reason for my skepticism. I would be glad to figure this out and see that it wasn't scam .

I'm sure the skepticism comes from that fact that it is microsoft. I have gotton forward upon forward emails, concerning something microsoft will do if you do this or do that. I have a hard time trusting anyone that is rich enough to support an entire human race for 1 full year. They wont just donate the money on their own. The public of course has to do something for them first? Listen to me being the cynic now, shame on me I will do it! but only because there is a chance it might help the less fortunate.

catwoman I can't get it to open either yeah Aenigma, it tends to be the popular name (microsoft) that people use to try and get you to use there browsers and so forth, always with the promise that they will donate a money to a charity or to you yourself. Never seems to pan out though.

"Google ads" is based on the same principle. When you click a google ad link on a website, that company has to pay Google for advertising. But "clicking" isn't always that innocent.. Have you heard of Google click fraud? Companies lose (lots of) money because of competitors clicking on links (with the help of "click-bots"), forcing the others to spend their advertising budget on nothing...
