**Throughout December Microsoft will donate to the NSPCC 15% of sales of Microsoft
Windows Vista and Office 2007 from the software company and charity’s jointly branded
online store.**

Matthew Bishop, Business Marketing Officer, [Microsoft UK](http://www.microsoft.com/uk),
said: “We want to do everything we can to help the [NSPCC](http://www.nspcc.org.uk)
reach its target, so if you are already thinking of upgrading your software in the
run up to Christmas then this is a great way to do it. It’s an unlimited offer, 
between now and the New Year, so each person who takes it up really will make a 
difference.”

[Microsoft has been supporting the NSPCC](http://www.microsoft.com/uk/nspcc) for
over 14 years.
