Userful and ThinNetworks today announced that they have been selected to supply 356,800 virtualized-desktops to schools in all of Brazil's 5,560 municipalities.

This initiative will provide computer access to millions of children and youth throughout the country. It is a historical achievement, being: the world's largest ever virtual-desktop deployment; the world's largest ever
desktop-Linux deployment, and a new record low-cost for PCs with the PC sharing hardware and software costing less than $50 per seat. The decision to deploy Userful and ThinNetworks' low-cost and environmentally friendly solution establishes the Brazilian Ministry of Education as a global leader in computer education and provides other governments and institutions worldwide with a proven model for improving student to computer ratios with minimal cost
and environmental impact.
