Every large company has some sort of a "do good/feel good" program, it's a
marketing necessity nowadays, not out of "philanthropy/philosophy for
service for the humanity" (!?). And don't forget Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation:

Knee jerk reaction is to root for the ""underdog"" and disparage the
"overdog", but MS is probably more "greener" than Yahoo, and if your motive
is truly philantrophy and not simply being anti-MS, it makes more sens to
root for Bill: More of each $1000 you put in Bill's pocket will go to good
causes than from $100 you put into pockets of 10 different people.
