Microsoft rolls out Starter Edition in Hindi

NEW DELHI: Aimed at tapping first time PC users in the Hindi belt, Microsoft Corp India on Thursday rolled out its operating system Windows XP Starter Edition in Hindi.

Microsoft has tied up with HCL and Intel to develop personal computers with this latest operating system and has introduced these PCs for Uttaranchal government employees to begin with, Microsoft India Director (Business and Marketing Operations), Ranjivjit Singh, told reporters.

Uttaranchal is the first state where these PCs would be available under the state government's `People's PC Program', in which government employees would be able to buy these PCs at an EMI of as low as Rs. 399, he said.

The new operating system provided all major activities such as word processing, e-mail, internet connectivity and media players with a Hindi user interface, he said. With this offering, India becomes the sixth country after Thailand, Russia, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brazil. — PTI
