Open source and freeware.
Software is just too expnsive for most of the world population and slowing down development. We in the West enjoy entertainment, gambling, lotteries and other things we spend our money on that require little carbon emissions and have a low carbon footprint. The emerging nations are now doing the manufacturing and have a high carbon footprint. Everyone needs to catch up. Microsoft has slowed down technology by over pricing and running cartels - let the good times roll - lets have open source and easy to use Linux and the like. My XP with service pack two and 100 hotfixes is just about behaving - and am I going to buy Vista - not a hope! Give me a $100 laptop as well please! I'll even pay $200 for it if it will help kids get one free or whatever...
