XP Lite - Now with hi res 800x600 and up to 3 concurrent programs!

] 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.
]
] 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.

Oh. My. God. *This* is how they expect to combat Linux in developing markets? 3 Concurrent processes? 800x600 max? I would say they took a bunch of copies of Windows For Workgroups 3.11 and repackaged them, but even WFW could do peer-to-peer file/print sharing.

"Here, have some 1993 Technology, and remember Linux is bad." How stupid do they think people in South East Asia are? Yes Microsoft, you win people over to your brandname by insulting their intelligence.
