We all know that Microsoft decided to continue to use XP to compete with the use of Linux in Ultra low-cost PC (ULPC). To that end, Microsoft is setting the limits for ULPCs at 10.2-inch screens, 80GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, 1GHz processors (with some exceptions) and no touchscreens. The upshot is that licenses for XP will go for $26 in developing nations and $32 elsewhere.
