microsoft has obviously misread the market. There have been repeated suggestions to them for lower pricing in asia on buyer power basis. Instead they have come up with this really stupid option. They don't seem to realise that asian consumeras are more tech savy and very conscipous of cost-benefit analysys. It is going to leave many managers read in face soon.

The report notes that numerous networking features are removed, and the Starter Edition allows only three applications to be run concurrently. According to Microsoft, this limitation 'helps [users] stay organized and reduces confusion.'"
