Last week's question

Founded in 1975, I'm king of the hill in software and Internet technologies. I recently shipped more than a million of my new Xbox video game systems to retailers. ("Monopoly" wasn't one of the first games available for the system.) My new software platform, called ".NET," will add functionality to standard Web browsers and help businesses build new Web applications. I match the charitable contributions of my 44,000-some employees dollar for dollar, up to $12,000 each. Unlike some helpers, I will do Windows. If you'd invested $5,000 in me 15 years ago, you'd have more than $500,000 today. Who am I? (Answer: Microsoft)
