This press release looks at the Brazilian "Computador para Todos" (Computer for Everyone) program that was announced in November 2005. The open source Insigne OS has been key to the success of the program. ""It has been hard but pleasant work reaching 1.5 million families," says Joao Pereira da Silva Jr., Insigne's CEO. "Brand-new users considered the system very friendly, and the other systems' former users expressed admiration and a desire to migrate to Insigne. We are motivated to improve the Insigne OS to increase our market share.""
