Microsoft Kasih Windows XP gratisan ???

Informasi yang diterima terakhir dari temen gue adalah Microsoft membagikan Windows XP gratisan...
Hmm..sepertinya adanya program IGOS agak mengancam Microsoft, sampai-sampai harus ngasih Windows XP secara gratis ke LSM/NGO yang ada di Indonesia.

Info lengkapnya........

We team up with major corporations to donate our genuine software and license for non-profit organizations in Indonesia to support their daily activities. By the end of Fiscal Year 2004 (June 2004), we had contributed US$ 2,702,930 worth of software to more than 50 organizations.

The following are not eligible for Microsoft Software donations:

• Nonprofit organizations without their own 501(c)3 tax-exempt status
• Individuals
• K-12 public and private schools
• Political, labor, religious or fraternal organizations

• Conferences or symposia
• Hospitals or medical clinics

  A secular designation is defined as an organization separate from the church or religious organization that provides services to people regardless of their religious beliefs and does not propagate a belief in a specific faith. Example: A food bank that is a separate 501 (c)(3) organization from a church that provides food and meals to anyone who qualifies for services, regardless of religious belief.
