Or how about this: Microsoft employees have voted to GIVE(or sell at half or
lower price, if you have to be a capitalist) their unused and obsoleted
hardware to those in underdeveloped countries(or the poor in this country)
for people there to use with free operating systems and other free computer
software to enrich their lives. This, of course, avoids putting together a
ridiculous system to collect money from those who buy the computers
described in this article. And makes use of hardware that would otherwise
not be used, since it has been obsoleted by Microsoft(and other companies')
bloated software.
