DUMB & DUMBERER

...for that reason, the company has poured most of its development resources into things like local language videos that explain PC basics, such as how to print and how to use a mouse.

"It is the soul of Windows XP Starter Edition," said Mike Wickstrand, a director of Windows product management who helps lead the Starter Edition effort. "It's the part we've invested the most in."

This is a shinning example of basic MS development & marketing strategy. As is known, dumb people is the core of MS client base; "...It's the part we've invested the most ... how to use a mouse"

This is just pathetic
