However, this is a very good marketing strategey from M$. It keeps full tabs on the lower end users and the other softwares they could be using in their systems.
I doubt whether anyone in India would settle for anything more expensive than Rs. 250 for a windows CD. Nobody looks at software as something worth paying for. I still don't understand the value of paying Rs. 500 per month forever instead of buying the OS outright for Rs. 10,000.
And plus, are they going to be giving compensation/extra time for system hangups, crashes, reboots, etc?
