The official reason for the Seattle giant free of this new strategy the best way to combat the threat of rising very fast, and the fact that the Internet, a high proportion of new users, most of them in developing countries, is now in the absence of any protection of compute.

The package is to address the "growing demand from emerging markets" and the use of PC, the small size, including the netBook which is in fact caused by the information take-off countries such as India. Microsoft has a solution that will use the lowest possible number of resources (memory, processor) ...
