Matthew writes: Steve Ballmer announced the latest edition of the software giant’s Windows XP line of desktop operating systems: Windows XP Homeless Edition.
“With XP Homeless, we’re closing the gap for a segment of society that has been historically underrepresented in the software market.”
“This version of XP is basically a limited version of the XP Home edition. We’ve taken out Movie Maker, Media Player, and Internet Explorer, and we’ve added PocketChange Pro, Outlook Grim, Microsoft Streets & Trips, Cardboard Creator, and Microsoft Train Tracks Simulator.”
“We’ve taken out a lot of the fluff and pizzazz so that we could lower the price to 2.50, or whatever you’ve got on you.”
