    Microsoft has provided a modified version of Windows XP with reduced functionality for use in the Thai government's low-cost PC programme, and may make this software available to other governments, the company has revealed.
    The "entry-level" version of Windows was created to allow Microsoft to participate in the Thailand ICT Ministry's programme without adjusting its policy of charging a single price for Windows and Office around the world, Microsoft said on Monday. The software was provided at a cost of 1,500 baht, or about £20, compared with the usual price of several hundred pounds.
    Update: The company is to compete in poor countries with a cut-price, reduced-functionality version of Windows XP - and Thailand is already using the software
