There's more. Just wait. An article from AP that I had to look for (spotted
last year and posted here) talked about Microsoft opening up for 'donations'
to up to 35,000 non-profits. Charity=bribery?
As Glyn Moody put it, if this is true, it will slam Microsoft in a very nasty
way. Forget about those briberies in Sweden. That's small stuff in comparison.
