I understand those children would have to work at home in the fields or even need the money they earn for their own susteinance...
Yet, we can't just enter in a vicious circle here. Just because you can't fix something, it doesn't mean you can try to at least profit from it. I don't agree with the expression "if you can't beat them, join them".
Fair payment, decent shift times, health and safety work conditions, etc. At least that! Child labour != Child exploitation/slavery.
Microsoft isn't to blame? Of course they are. They should know what they are employing.
In these last years, people are getting more conscious about how "green" the products are. Even paying a little bit more for a better quality envorinment friendly product.
It would be nice something like that, but for "child slavery-free" products.
