Microsoft, is on a mission to double its user base. Hoping to gain even more control on the computing market, they are even selling their software for a s low as $3 to some parts of the world. Developing nations can buy this software, if they provide it to the schools for free.

They will start selling to governments in the second half of 2007.

“This is not a philanthropic effort, this is a business,” Orlando Ayala of Microsoft told the Reuter’s news agency.

Many companies are rushing to provide technology to most of the world. Intel and AMD are competing with the Classmate PC and the 50×15 laptops. Google is providing these countries with applications and tech support.

No matter what these companies goals are, it will help us all in the future.
