Microsoft Corp is making its Windows operating system available to low-cost desktop PCs, as cheaper laptops enjoy booming demand globally, the software giant said on Tuesday.
"Distributors, retailers or end-users, people are really looking for Windows-based devices," Steven Guggenheimer, vice president for Microsoft's original equipment manufacturing business, told reporters at Computex, the world's second largest computer show.
Microsoft's customers and partners have made it clear that they want Windows on their Netbooks and Nettops, he said.
