    But it doesn't require as large power grid so therefore outages happen in much smaller area.

    Microsoft Research has done publications on mobile phone enabled banking. Maybe that's the answer.

    Wind doesn't cool things down, it merely makes it feel colder. That's why air conditioners are much better than pure fans. They of course use more power too.

    Actually, Microsoft Research has published many papers over this. One of them consist of using cloud computing as heating source. This is extremely good for something like the mountains of Pakistan where it can get a bit cold.

    In my honest opinion the best solution is to use combination of wind power and solar power. Then it's also unlikely that you don't get electricity. Save some of it to battery and voila off you go.

    It's summer time and it's India. There's really hot.

    Actually, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is extremely good OS, especially compared to 2003 version. There are some unplanned outages, but nothing that causes major concerns.

    The line feeding electricity to Agra-Bareilly transmission section (400-kV Bina Gwalior line) is in a bad condition. Engineers at Microsoft Research most likely have a solution to this, and it is wind power.

    If people in India and around the world would use more local wind power this wouldn't happen.
