Don't think that's the potential market

Work oriented computers are probably the market that MS
and computer makers would want in less developed
countries.

While large companies in those countries will have
computers, small companies don't. In the develeoped
world, all companies, big and small, are now computer
dependent.

Here in the U.S. and Europe, home computers spread from
work computers. Desktop computers were too expensive
for the average person years ago. Users also became
proficient in using a computer at work. That eventually
allowed them to buy and sut up a machine at home.

One would think that the same would hold true for less
developed countries.
