A new model for PC penetration
Economic Times – Oct 31, 2007
Consider also that inIndia a typical desktop computer costs 44% of the average Indian?s annualwage. Brazil?s experience in supporting technology adoption isparticularly instructive. Since reducing taxes on computer purchases two yearsago the PC market tripled and more than two million families bought theirfirst PC making Brazil the world?s fourth-largest PC market. What wasmore important was the multiplier effect this had on the economy. Thousands of IT industry jobswere created and government revenue from the IT sector increased by 50%.

InfoWorld – Oct 31, 2007
n this Halloween day I can think of few things more frightening (except maybe a blind date with Larry Ellison). Like Dracula or Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street Microsoft is a reliable boogieman who still has teeth (or a razor sharp fingernails).

In this episode enterprises reported that Update automatically installed Windows Desktop Search 3… And very few use ffice’s email client. BTW since Macs started using Intel chips a few years ago they can now run ANY Windows software. In fact they will run those programs faster than comparable PC machines. In Japan Apple has the MAJRITY of new S sales since the release of Leopard in late ctober. As usual they are showing us the future of computing in the USA.

The $198 price tag might help. The Everex gPC will hit Wal-Mart shelves tomorrow and is designed to attract new PC users… Liu thinks gPC can succeed by making the system easy for beginner or inexperienced PC users. “ur target is first-time users and someone who wanted a simple experience” he said. Everex tried to anticipate as much consumer need as possible in loading all of the free software on the computer. “There is some value to integration. We want the out-of-box experience to be as seamless as possible. Kim added that while the Google name and logo are used this is not a Google-endorsed product. While it’s full of Google apps the goal of both companies was to create an out-of-the-box Web 2.
