[b]Microsoft[/b] has provided a modified version of [i]Windows XP[/i] with reduced features for use in the Thai government's low-cost PC program, and may make this software available to other governments, the company said.
[blockquote]Last year, market research firm Gartner said the Thai deal was the beginning of the end for the one-price policy, predicting Microsoft would be compelled to halve its prices in poorer countries by the middle of 2004. Now Microsoft says it is looking to collaborate with more governments on low-cost PC initiatives, using customized software with reduced functionality, as in Thailand.
