FYI - Gold contributor means the donation was somewhere in the range of $25,000 to $50,000.


Someone must have had some funds left over in the advertizing budget.

Regardless it's a very smart move and much appreciated.

Thank you Microsoft!


windows supporting openssh is most likely the reason


I'm pretty sure they got a donation closer to the lower $25,000 bound. I check the fund raisin page quite often and up to this morning it showed a total of $100,000 raised. It's now at $125,000.

Still great regardless of the amount. I'm happy that the money was donated to the project.



What's the point of trying to say "Good job" if you're just going to minimize the gesture in the same paragraph? This adds nothing but a negative spin...


Shame, that's pocket change for a company like Microsoft. Happy to see they're contributing nonetheless.
