Damn, that's cool.
Someday when I have time (that will probaly be almost never), I will look into one of them to see if it really has what it's saying or is just some bolony from microsoft.
Till today they are still talking about security, and I still see 11 year old kids telling people to install exe and run a "Back Orifice" style software remotely, I mean I use to see that in 95/98 but we are going to Vista now and security has just been marketing and bolony/new market for potential investment.
I don't know about that, but I think that the other Brazilian program "PC for all" is a better proposal: Linux PC, that is just cheaper.
So the Microsoft's "counter-strike" is this pay-as-you-go thingy that probaly blocks the MBR and puts a password on the BIOS so you cannot change the OS, but they are smart because they make you pay all the costs they had up front then you just do the pre-paid thingy for their profit part of the story.
I'ven't seen anyone with this PC yet, but when I do I will be one of the first or last to want to rewrite that MBR, or maybe upgrade the BIOS and then install linux just for the heck of it.

Here in Brazil with 25k dollars you get experienced professional programmers with that sallary, even dough some languages earn more than that, but you get the idea.
You cannot beat outsourcing, it's just cheaper!
with 20k dollars you get medium experienced developers.
Outsourcing will be the way for the next couple of years, for medium, large companies, and 5 years from now small companies are going to start outsourcing.
Imagine how much you can save on outsourcing your software.
If you are interested I can even help you outsource.
Peace
I like to resolve problems in my sleep, in fact it seems like I never sleep. Do you think I have problems? hehe.
If you don't like resolving problems in your sleep it might burn you out also hehe.
I can say from my experience as a OSSD (d as in developer) in Brazil that the problem is not with the quantity of developers, but with the companies and investors that are always paying better to professionals that work with Microsoft solutions like Visual Studio, now the market is getting too intensive in Java, and when you go only to one direction then ofcourse you are going to have too many jobs and less qualified workers.
Companies need to know that if they choose a tecnology, they need to see the health of that language and how can they find a similar solution to pay less. The problem is that third world countries need OMI (open minded investors), people that know what thye are putting their money into, not just someone who heard about Java or Visual Studio and decided to go for that. Companies need solutions and optimizations, saving on consulting might say you 10 bucks now and make you waste 50 thousand along the line, where you could of spent 10 thousand.
Third world countries needs investors that know how to analyse the market before trying to be the expert and do the job of a IT Manager.
