The released a low-cost, cut-down, crippled version for places where piracy was rampant. I think it was priced as low as USD 2-3, but the actual price was based on what the local market could "afford" (ie it had to be competitive with pirate copies). This crippled version of Windows only allowed the simultaneous "running" of 2 or 3 applications. -- Crayon -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
