Microsoft is contributing technology for two projects dear to former U.S. President Bill Clinton's heart, and on Friday, he was at the company's Redmond, Washington, campus to say thanks.

Microsoft is participating in a United Nations organization that aims to help millions of children in refugee camps worldwide continue their educations. The company designed a Web site, ninemillion.org, to help the organization raise money.

In addition, Microsoft is helping develop technologies to measure the carbon footprints of large buildings and then track how changes to the buildings might improve their impact on the environment.
