Microsoft develops prepaid computer:

The PC, which functions similar to a prepaid cell phone, is sold for a low value - in tests a price of 799 reais (US$351) was chosen.

The consumer buys prepaid cards with credits to use the PC and the machine becomes "free" once a certain amount of credits have been paid.
