Download IE8, Microsoft Will Give To Food Bank

Microsoft, after recently releasing what they claim to be one of the fastest browsers, Internet Explorer 8, is starting a new campaign in a charity push to get people to download the new browser.

According to the new site, browserforthebetter.com and other Microsoft sources, the company plans to start donating about $1.15 to food banks for every download of their new broswer, up to one million dollars.

Microsoft’s recent attempts at upping-the-ante on their Internet Explorer product come for a reason- in the past few years, Internet Explorer’s usage stats have dropped amid new browsers taking a bite into the market like Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari.
