Microsoft is really looking to shine in the consumers eye recently announcing that for every completed download of Internet Explorer 8 the will donate 8 meals (or $1.15) to the Feeding America Network.

This promotion is apparantly called ‘Browser for the Better’ and will run from June 10th to August 8th so if you’re looking to get some meals donated you better get downloading.

Sure, Microsoft still holds the top spot in browser market share but with more and more people switching to alternatives such as Google Chrome and Mozilla’s Firefox will this ‘Browser for the Beter’ program help sway the market back into their favor? Only time will tell.

Oh, did I mention that in order to promote the ‘Browser for the Better’ promotion Microsoft rounded up some artists to construct the Empire State Building and Golden Gate Bridge with food cans? No? Check the image above.
