Microsoft and the United Nations will work together to bring computer technology and literacy to developing countries, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates said Friday. Microsoft pledged software, computer training and cash to establish computer centers in poor communities, starting with pilot projects in Egypt, Mozambique and Morocco. The initiative will draw from a $1 billion Microsoft Unlimited Potential fund, which the U.S. software giant launched last year.
