vista prices

[Paul Sutton]

I found an old copy of PC format today,  dated june or july 2005,  
Looking at that, it said Microsoft were selling Windows in some Asian 
countries, for about $5 each,  however this was stripped down, version 
adn max hardware was something like 40gb hdd, and 256mb ram.

This was to counter piracy,  oddly the article did not mention 
countering Linux and free software.

Given that Linux is available, and is not cut down,  sounds a good 
opportunity to push Linux as an alternative to Windows XP in this format.
