The software maker creates a program that allows charities to use donated PCs without breaking its software licensing rules.

Anti Trust Agreement

I wish the author understood the anti trust with the Department of Justice of the United States. That part of license agreement is not enforceable anymore world wide. They can use any OS including Linux. So when the company sells or donates a computer(s) they don't have to maintain the Windows Operating System at all. If Microsoft requests money they can put another operating system with no problem. So the next time please research the neew licensing agreement that Microsoft must follow. They can't mandate the Windows system at all on any computer even the one you own as they could do before. Thank you for allowing me to present my view.

They're not doing anyone any favors

They strongly opposed this until Linux started taking off in this regard. They're not the least bit interested in doing the right thing, they're only worried about being displaced.

In checking the website, Authorized refurbishers or MAR's are only in Europe, Africe, etc. Not for USA at this time, although I do not see why!
