Will it run on Windows?

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has announced a new $42 million initiative to invent the "toilet of the future" to enable people to poop "with dignity" and not foul water supplies.

According to Fast Company:

"The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced on Tuesday that they are giving away more than $42 million to develop new, innovative toilets for use in the world's poorest regions. Many of the scientists working on these projects have science-fictiony proposals such as transforming human feces into charcoal and microwave-powered toilets that can generate electricity from gasified human waste.

"But while poo-charcoal and power-generating waste might like sound weird ideas, they could revolutionize daily life for millions. 'The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation believes in the power of innovation, and we focus our funding where we can have the biggest impact in helping people lead healthy, productive lives. No innovation has saved more lives in the last 200 years than the flush toilet and sewer system,' said Frank Rijsberman, director of water, sanitation and hygiene for the Gates Foundation. 'But we need new approaches to ensure that the 40 percent of humanity without access to improved sanitation has a safe and affordable way to go.' "
