It is still hysterically amusing that Microsoft has just become a hardware
vendor in India and it boasts a PC that costs 'only' $520 (in India!). It runs
bloatware, so it can't match the cost of /far/ cheaper Linux PCs, which
contain /far/ more software (no "Starter Edition").
Some might say that company is out of its mind if it thinks this will appeal to
people who haven't much money (never mind the running costs, 'maintenance',
and energy consumption of Windows).
