Just for the record, Microsoft started its Giving Campaign back in 1983, raising then $17,000. Last year the employees and the company contributed more than $68 million to different causes. Microsoft matches the donations of its employees to a lot of organizations, and pay the volunteer work they do as well.
Microsoft is a corporation though, and as a corporation its objective is to make money. Good or bad, that is how it works. But putting that aside, there is no reason to believe Microsoft is specially evil.
