Microsoft Aims to Double PC users by 2015

Trivia fact of the day: roughly 500 million people use computers now.

News flash: Microsoft is going to try and double that number. And to ensure that they will meet this awe-inspiring goal, Microsoft is going to try to lower the cost of their operating system, as we already reported. This $3 USD Windows Starter Edition, along with a cheaper version of Microsoft Office, will help Microsoft reach poorer countries. Hopefully, with the help of the One Laptop Per Child project, Microsoft will meet their goal.

Thats alot of folks, but considering there are a few billion in the world, its not unheard of to get 1 billion users. With OLPC and MS $3 going on, Im sure that will happen.

There's a lot more than a few billion on the planet. There's a few billion just in Asia/India combined alone.
