Charitable entrepreneur Martha Lane Fox has teamed up with Microsoft, TalkTalk, and Simplify Digital to bring a cheaper option for cash-strapped folks in the UK.

The “Go On UK” initiative also throws in a WiFi router and Windows 7 to further spread that non-profit love around the nation — just like we have going on in the US.
