Microsoft is expanding its "Unlimited Potential" initiative to include offering a software package, the Student Innovation Suite, to governments and students in emerging countries across the world at a price of just $3.

Microsoft chairman Bill Gates will use the Government Leaders Forum, which he is hosting in Beijing, China, on April 19, to announce new products and programs under the banner of its existing Unlimited Potential initiative.

A critical component of the initiative is the Microsoft Student Innovation Suite, a software package that includes Windows XP Starter Edition, Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, Microsoft Math 3.0, Learning Essentials 2.0 for Microsoft Office, and Windows Live Mail desktop.
