The cost factor has been a limiting factor for Windows XP in developing nations. Windows XP Starter Edition is offered only with new PCs in local languages and is not sold separately in stores.<\/p>\n<p>The<strong> Windows XP full version<\/strong> supports nine vernacular languages. However, the stripped-down budget Windows XP Starter operating system for India will only be available in Hindi, which is India&#8217;s national language.<\/p>\n<p>Besides costing less, the Starter Edition also features cosmetic enhancements, including localized wallpapers, and screensavers of famous local landmarks such as India&#8217;s Taj Mahal.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLimitations:<\/strong> Home networking and the ability to create multiple user accounts on a single PC has been removed, while display resolution is capped at a maximum of 800&#215;600. More importantly, users can only run three programs or have three windows opened at once.<\/p>\n<p>These are some very <strong>basic features<\/strong> which they have disabled which may prompt users to upgrade to the full edition, despite all cost factors. <strong>Limitation of 3 windows<\/strong> is extreme.
