This news item:

Microsoft officials demonstrated this week in Brazil a Portugese-language-optimized version of Windows XP that was stripped down to run on less-powerful processors, according to Marcelo Nóbrega, technology editor with the fourth largest Brazilian newspaper, Jornal do Brasil. Microsoft officials said they are bringing the Starter Edition product to Brazil, Nobrega said, but did not specify the exact timing.

Weird. Why would anyone want a crippled version of an aging virus-prone OS when they can get a more robust, full-featured, secure OS via Linux that's FREE!!!
