But then look at how the likes of Microsoft and Intel /view/ charities
(e.g. OLPC) as just another market opportunity to exploit. Obviously
these corporations are having some difficulty understanding the word
"charity", since they seem to think these people are "customers", whilst
these impoverished "customers" no doubt regard Microsoft with revulsion,
as do I, and an increasingly large proportion of the mainstream public.
