Microsoft Corp., trying to meet its goal of doubling the number of computer
users to 2 billion by 2015, promised to cut its software prices to governments
in developing countries that provide free computers to school children.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates announced the program at a news conference in
Beijing on Thursday. Microsoft said it plans to offer a software package
called Microsoft Student Innovation Suite for $3 to governments purchasing and
giving Windows-based computer to primary and secondary students. The software
bundle, which will be available in the second half of 2007, includes Windows XP
Starter Edition, Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, Windows Live Mail
desktop and other programs.
