Microsoft To Test Education PC
By Jeffrey | June 28, 2007
Microsoft plans to start testing a new education PC called IQ PC and an education channel on its MSN portal in India next month.
The India launch of the IQ PC and education channel will be the first worldwide. It is part of Microsoft’s “Unlimited Potential” program, which aims to use technology to increase the reach of education, said a spokeswoman for Microsoft India on Wednesday.
This is a very basic entry into making full computers for Microsoft, but I’ve always thought it would be interesting if Microsoft decided to fully get into the PC market.
Not making propriety hardware, a la Apple, but instead making machines that have been fully tested to 100% support every feature of its software.
Geeks would still be able to build their own PCs, or buy from Dell for that matter, but buying a Microsoft PC would be assuring that it would be 100% compatible.
Just a thought…
