Will Poole on CNET

bio_poole[1]CNET ran a nice interview with Will Poole today. It was based on a series of meetings we did down in the Bay Area a few weeks ago. Will is one of the VPs who runs the Unlimited Potential Group here at Microsoft.

The interview includes a video clip of our MultiPoint technology, which is designed to let multiple kids share a computer in a classroom setting for schools that cannot afford a single PC for every student.

He also landed a nice quote that summarizes so much of our approach to doing incubations with local partners around the world:

When I started looking at this about five years ago, I thought that affordability was the biggest challenge. It turns out that affordability is actually the third on the list of issues. The first one turns out to be relevance.
