  Microsoft agrees to remove XP activation, slashes price to bone
Time: 09:00 EST/14:00 GMT | News Source: the inquirer | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim

WE DIDN'T HAVE time yesterday to write up an interesting little report in the Wall Street Journal, but it's definitely worth noting. In order to compete with the Thai government's plan to sell a million cheapo Linux PCs, which we covered earlier, Microsoft did some fancy footwork on pricing. And on activation. According to the Journal, Microsoft said it would sell WIndows XP and Office at a piffling $36 a PC.
