Microsoft Hopes To Extend Its Reach With $3 Bundle

The program, an expansion of the “Microsoft Unlimited Potential” effort, will involve selling a bundle of software that includes Windows XP Starter Edition, Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, Microsoft Math 3.0, Learning Essentials 2.0 for Microsoft Office, and Windows Live Mail desktop, for an average cost of $3. The offer will only be extended to qualifying governments that purchase and supply PCs directly to students.

It’s hard to disagree with Microsoft’s move on this one. It’s great to have a wider reach in developing Countries. Though it seems simple, it could have a big affect.
