Microsoft is looking out for 21st-century kids around the world. In a move geared toward getting more traction for its Office and Windows products in developing nations, the company has introduced software that allows multiple input devices, such as mice and joysticks, to function concurrently on a single PC.
The Microsoft Research India unit developed MultiPoint, which is intended to address the fact that most schools in developing nations cannot afford enough PCs to support the number of students being taught.
