Windows XP at Rs. 1000 in India

Whatever they do, Piracy will still prevail in India.
This version of windows will find nice place as an OEM but It can't be hit as a Stanalone product.
To bring down piracy levels in developing countries such as India they should bring down prices of their entire range.

More the charge piracy will continue -- you make windows for rs 100! then also it is costly as for piracy u need a blank cd and a writter!!

Piracy is the Policy which m$ secretly preaches,for the Popularity of their Products.....

I agree with ujjwal. It will be a big boon to many people. Think about some schools in villages for eg. it will help them to purchase 2 computers instead of one. They don't need to run 10's of applications at a time. They just need something to learn even if its a restricted version. And how many experts will we get in those regions who'll be ready to teach OSS? Well though we people here won't even give it a second look but we shouldn't be narrow minded Windows SE is a good move by MSthough its a pure biz strategy by MS but still if it can help then why not?

i strongly agree with ujjwal .. win xp se is jsut for beginners and they are also shipping it in indian languages .. its just gr8 and is worth all the 1000/- bucks .. newbies wont run 10 apps at a time anyways .. atleast people will come forward and buy low cost pc's and geta feel of them..
