Bill could make his X box a better candidate. Remove all of its security and make it into a PC. Install a simplified Windows and a few games. Kids in third world country gonna love it. Most third world country has eletricity and TV, the only thing missing is a PC. and they do not need mobility that much.
Ultrasurf is the popular program used in China to bypass the Great firewall. Basically it is a web proxy + SSL tunnel installed on the client computer. Those kind of programs must be easy to use and have a Chinese interface, so average people can use it. As far as most people in China can not read Chinese content overseas, the Great Firewall is doing a good job. Chinese government don't care about web site with English content. That's why English web sites like/. , nytimes and washington post is not blocked at all in China.
Windows XP embedded could achieve that. Basically you choose from thousand components and build a customized XP Pro. I tried its evaluation copy and got a 50M image (shell included). There is a kiosk/game console design template in it.
I use windows XP and I am quite happy with it. I don't install any antivirus software. I don't use firewall either. I just use my little router, patched XP with SP1 and two fixes, one for the RPC bug and one for IE to prevent trojans from malicious web site. I know what I am doing and I haven't gotten any problems so far.
I did not see anything about equal distribution of wealth. I only see big corporation push the cost and profit of their overseas supplier to the lowest and keep their product price in America to kill competition so they can maximize their profit.

I have seen those mini CD images since 2003. But it seems more and more game companies begin to use Starforce.

Agree. I developed a news site and an ecommerce site with .NET and Visual Studio just by my self. Actually they are very productive.
So not even a single pair of dino hid out and escaped this barbeque??Think it further, why every dino died but some other animals could survive?
