Overnight, Microsoft announced a bold, new initiative to increase revenue in emerging markets. Goal: Create 1 billion new computer users.

The announcement is complex, so we are dedicating several posts to explanation and analysis. This first one focuses on the what, while subsequent posts will look at the how and the why.

Microsoft announced the initiative in Beijing, with a cadre of attending executives, including Chairman Bill Gates and Will Poole, corporate vice president of the Market Expansion group.

Three broad areas make up the initiative, with a $3 per student product offering sure to capture the attention of the news media and bloggers.
