Microsoft plans cut-price Windows<\/a><\/p>\n

Microsoft is to launch a low-cost version of its Windows XP program to try to halt the rise of rival Linux software.<\/p>\n

…Microsoft’s new software – dubbed “XP Lite” – will feature lower resolution graphics and limited options for networking computers together.<\/p>\n

It will also limit users to running three programs concurrently – a far cry from the full version of XP, where the only practical limit comes from the speed of the computer and the size of its memory.<\/p>\n

It will be available initially in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and two other as yet unspecified Asian countries. [BBC News | TECHNOLOGY<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
