Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft employees gathered Thursday at Safeco Field for the company's annual employee meeting to hear presentations from executives such as Chairman Bill Gates, Chief Executive Steve Ballmer and Business Division President Jeff Raikes.
The event traditionally is closed, but Microsoft opened it briefly to announce that it had exceeded $2.5 billion in charitable donations since 1983, including cash, software, employee contributions and company matching funds.
