Microsoft announces low cost Windows for Turkey

Ankara - Microsoft chairman Bill Gates announced Monday details of a joint project to produce a Turkish-language version of Windows XP Starter Edition, an inexpensive, stripped down version of the standard operating software aimed at schoolchildren. Speaking to journalists in Istanbul, Gates said Microsoft would work with Turk Telecom and memory chip maker Intel to produce cheap computers under a programme called 'My First PC'. Gates said the version would have safeguards to stop children from reaching 'inappropriate sites'. The Microsoft chairman did not detail the computers' retail price or say when they would be available. © 2006 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
