Hopefully this will encourage some younger people to get interested in science and astronomy, if it does then Microsoft has made a contribution to society. Kudos to them for offering it free of charge.....

I have always wanted one of the really powerful home telescopes, that can show you the rings of saturn and jupiter's moons, etc. Much too expensive; and anyway you have to go way out into the country to use it.
This should be better.
