The software installed on computers within the charity project launched by the fund will cost four-fold less than within the existing education projects, i.e. MS Office + Windows XP will be supplied for $3. Thus, Microsoft intends to implement in Russia the scheme already tested in China. The given project enables Bill Gates' company to overcome the threat of open source software.13 Vote(s)
