Download Internet Explorer 8, Feed the Hungry

SUMMARY: For a limited time, Microsoft will donate money to food banks for every completed download of Internet Explorer 8 through a special website.


 

Curious about trying out Internet Explorer 8, but need another reason to upgrade or try a different web browser? Now you may have one.

Microsoft has teamed up with Feeding America to create a "Brower for the Better" campaign, where for every complete download of Internet Explorer 8 through that site, Microsoft will donate the equivalent of eight meals ($1.15 US), up to a total of $1,000,000, to associated food banks. The campaign runs from June 10th through August 8th, 2009.


Browser for the Better website




You will need to install Microsoft Silverlight to view the site.




Besides this contribution, the new advertising campaign also includes videos showcasing new features of Internet Explorer 8 including Web Slices and Accelerators.
