Corp. donating meals to Feeding America for every download

Microsoft supports Hunger Action month with IE8 Image 1

Microsoft has been running a program with the Feeding America charity since early June, whereby users who download Internet Explorer 8 will see eight meals donated to starving Americans.

As the charity has designated September Hunger Action month, Microsoft has kicked things into even higher gear, offering to donate 16 meals per download for those who are still on Internet Explorer 6.

Not sure how they work it, but under the program, called "Browser for the Better", eight meals can be had for just $1.15; up to $1 million worth will be donated before it ends June 30, 2010.

Note you don't have to actually install the browser, you simply need to download it through the website below. Even for staunch Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari users, we encourage you to give it a whirl.

    Feeding America? You should be replacing the "me" in America with "f".
