Microsoft is going to start testing a new education PC called IQPC as well as launching an education channel on its MSN Portal.  They will be testing the PC in India sometime next month. This is all part of Microsoft's "Unlimited Potential" program that Bill Gates announced in April. The program aims to use technology to increase the awareness and the reach of education to those previously left behind. The education channel will be accessible through the IQPC and internet cafes. Microsoft hopes to have the program implemented country-wide this November.  For more information check out InfoWorld.com. Here's another article on the Unlimited Potential program.

This is wonderful!  It is very encouraging to see that so many people will be better prepared to direct their lives through an increased understanding of technology and the positive impact that it can have in providing valuable educational opportunities.  This is sure to have a much greater reach than we can fathom at present.
