Microsoft to spread software through U.N.

Microsoft signed an agreement Wednesday with UNESCO to promote the use of information technology in education in developing nations and boost the number of languages in which its applications are offered.
Under the agreement, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization will support the software maker's efforts to expand the number of languages featured in its Local Language Program. That initiative, launched earlier this year, is designed to provide desktop software and tools in local languages by collaborating with governments and universities.
