Microsoft has been having a hard time trying to figure out what to call the new smaller "Anorexic" version of Windows XP, only priced at $38 American Dollars.

The slimmer smaller Windows comes without any bells and whistles and has been in the shops in Thailand where it competes with Linux and sells for US $38.
I dont think it can compete with linux...

P.S. This kinda adds on to Spinner's recent news item, which can be viewed here (http://www.short-media.com/extendednews.php?n=1384)

Microsoft can just simple call it a new operating system that is an alternative solution to Linux (SuSE, Linspire, Mandrake and etc.).

I know!

They could call it "Linux CE" (Compatability Edition).
