CNN.com - Microsoft announces 'XP Lite' in Asia - Aug 11, 2004
The new software's "simplified task management" in which "first-time home PC users can have up to three programs running concurrently" represents a downgrade from the standard XP system. A full XP version can run many more programs concurrently, depending on the amount of memory in a computer.
Other downgrades include "display resolution set to 800x600 maximum and no support for PC-to-PC home networking, sharing printers across a network or more advanced features such as the ability to establish multiple user accounts on a single PC," the company said.
Ummm... who would buy this? Why would they buy this?
First, piracy is so rampant in the targetted areas of this OS that no one would buy this. What is Microsoft thinking?
