When Microsoft first announced Windows XP Starter Edition, I asked if I could review the product. However, because it is available only in certain language versions and is designed to run on inexpensive, low-end hardware, and be presented to users with absolutely no computer experience, Microsoft declined my request. However, the folks responsible for XP Starter Edition were nice enough to speak with me at length and, in December, separately demonstrate the product to me in person so that I could get a feel for what the company was doing. In this case, the truth about Windows XP Starter Edition bears little resemblance to what you may have read in the tech press. So here, for the first time, I believe, is the true story about what Microsoft hopes to accomplish with Windows XP Starter Edition.
