India is not mentioned in the list of five contries, but I am sure it wont be long before MS looks at launching the low-cost XP version in India.

Tolerance - Level
by yayati singh 16 Aug '04

16 Aug '04

Ok before this gets INTOLERABLE, let the Newbie or anyone find both kind of Beings on this list 1. Tolerant: people who are tolerant of u and ur mistakes, and are willing to help u in any means. 2. Critic: People who would criticise you and make u self reliant, make u learn from ur mistakes and become a Quality GLUgeer!!! Doesn't the World have duality as mentioned in TAO of physics one Mother the other Father, one Soft the other Hard, One male the Other Female, one North the Other South. So let the Newbies Experience both the North and the South, and take his/her course any where he likes may be to the WEST/EAST. Freedom for Freedom. Regards yayati.

RE: [ILUG-BOM] Five countries to get cheap Windows XP
by Vistasp Mehta 16 Aug '04

If reports are accurate, networking has either been crippled or disabled entirely and they've stripped the OS down to such an extent, that only 3 programs can run concurrently. So, if you have a firewall and an antivirus running at all times, (and with Windows you do; you really do) then you simply _cannot_ multitask. If this is MS's much-touted response to Linux, they must *really* be hard up for ideas. Just my 2-pice. = v i s t a s p = bT Square Peg P.S. Calling it "Starter Edition" was a baaad move... How long do you think before it's dubbed the Non-Starter Edition? -----Original Message----- <snip> I wonder what members of this list think of this development?
