Recent reports sounded too good to be true: Was Microsoft developing a Windows XP 'Lite,' designed to go head-to-head with Linux on the desktop? And, indeed, it proved to be too good and mostly untrue after discussing the issue with Microsoft officials.

However, don't rule out Microsoft expanding its program to sell stripped-down versions of older flavors of Windows and Office to countries where Microsoft's current prices seem exorbitant.
