MS jumps the shark - XP Lite for Asia

What happens when spyware gets on these machines and uses up the 3 running program slots. They wouldn't be able to run anything to remove the spyware.

The MS Doctrine for Competitve behavior:

Given:
1) There is a feature-rich competitor to our product
2) People don't want to pay for our product, so they copy it illegally
3) The feature-rich competitor is free

Solution:
Make a feature-deprived version of our software that still costs more than the competition ($0).

They'd be limited to 3 spyware apps though, that would be nice for the rest of us.
