CES: NComputing CEO Stephen Dukker on low-cost computers

NComputing has taken the computing markets in developing countries by storm, selling more than 1.5 million of its low-cost computers. Its systems allow many people to use a single computer simultaneously.

At the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Stephen Dukker, the company’s chief executive showed off the systems, which can get anywhere from 10 to 30 users on a single computer shared by a bunch of distributed boxes. We’ve written about the Redwood City, Calif. company’s success in places such as India, where it is supplying lots of computers for school systems. Dukker, former chief executive of eMachines, talked with me on camera about the company’s progress with low-cost distributed computing. It’s a pretty inspiring story and a lesson for companies that want to target the world’s masses.
