Windows XP Starter Edition crosses 1 million mark

Windows XP Starter Edition is now being used in over 1 million homes worldwide. The program launched just over two years ago with a pilot of only five countries with the goal of putting PCs in the homes of low-income families in order to increase computer literacy in developing cultures. Now, Windows XP Starter Edition is being sold across 139 countries in 25 different localized language versions.

I am not sure whether I should clap, or be depressed that 1,000,000 poor souls have to suffer with such a crap version of XP. Either way you look at it, it sure didn’t take too long to reach this milestone.
