微软今日宣布将继续进行 "Browser for the Better" Internet Explorer 8下载量换捐款活动,每个IE8的下载都将为饥饿地区带来1.15美元的捐赠.
这一活动原本在8月31日结束,但不知道微软觉得捐得不够还是IE8下载量不够大,因此它们决定延续这一活动,并将价格加倍到2.30美元--条件是从IE6升级的用户,雇自家“凶手”杀害自家产品,由此可见微软对IE6本身也是深恶痛绝.
根据Net Applications的数据显示,IE6依然保有27%全球浏览器市场,IE7有23%,IE8仅有12%,5.0,6.0时代一个浏览器版本大一统的日子已经一去不复返,何况后有追兵.
Artists put the finishing touches on a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge constructed from soup cans. The June stunt was aimed at drawing awareness to Microsoft's Browser for the Better campaign, in which the software maker is donating to a food bank for each download of Internet Explorer 8.
