Congratulation to Microsoft Dream Spark that has launced by Bill gates at february 19st , 2008. Recently we know that microsoft has been making a lot of publicity lately, what with their recent acquisition of Danger (the folks that brought you the Sidekick), and their new attempt at taking over Yahoo!, beside that there are one move that are of particular interest to college and university students, this program called Microsoft Dream Spark,
I think that is a great opportunity for college student or university in Indonesia especially for me cause i’m still in college 
and also that is a great deal for Microsoft itself to increase of value in investing in the pioneers of tomorrows technology, “This is fantastic move which microsoft making”.

Based on Tony chen, President Director of Microsoft Indonesia, Microsoft has prepared 10 softwares for college student in Indonesia and for the future this software will be added, But, no all college students allowed to download this software through Dream Spark programs, there is an “Identity Provider” to regulate it, for Indonesia, ITB ( institute of Technology Bandung) and Aptikom are both as Identity Provider of Indonesia Microsoft Dream Spark. I hope this opportunity not limited for only university in java islands like ITS, Atmajaya, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Gunadarma, Bina Nusantara, Universitas Pelita Harapan, Institut Pertanian Bogor, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Universitas Padjajaran, Universitas Parahyangan, Universitas Brawijaya, Universitas Indonesia, Universitas MaChung, But all of University in Republic of Indonesia will be involved through this program, such as my university “University of Tanjung Pura” that located in Pontianak. for FAQ about this program you can visit the official site of Microsoft Dream Spark.
