icrosoft is to offer XP on ultra low-cost desktop machines, extending the deal it initially struck for budget laptops.

Microsoft announced back in April that it would continue to sell XP Home edition for another two years on ultra cheap laptops such as the Eee PC, due to the fact that they don’t have the specification to run Vista.

However, the company has now expanded that offer to the emerging class of low-cost desktops such as Asus Eee box. The software giant says it is working with over 20 PC makers to deliver "nettop" devices, including the big five of HP, Dell, Asus, Acer and Lenovo.

Steve Ballmer recently admitted that Microsoft could reconsider its decision to phase out Windows XP on 30 June if customers made enough noise on the issue, though with Windows 7 now expected in 2009 the company may feel the market would be too cluttered with three distinct Microsoft-branded consumer operating systems floating around.

In a local newspaper in Singapore- Microsoft is a perpetual participant in a race against software piracy in which the company has seen many small victories, but with no end in sight. While it has always been the policy over in Redmond to treat end users running counterfeit software products as victims of the piracy phenomenon, as much as Microsoft itself, the company has not hesitated in the least to gun for those involved in the process of producing or distributing bootlegged materials for their own benefit. Working with law enforcement agencies across the world, Microsoft is constantly applauding small steps forward in bringing software pirates down. And one practice that has become somewhat of a tradition is to force pirates to advertise anti-piracy after they have been apprehended. It’s the case of a seller of fake Certificates of Authenticity from Singapore. Read the rest of this entry…
