This is what India really needs, cheap PCs, & again, what is the most important & basic use of a PC in India, it's not gaming, think yourself how many people are serious gamers
However a 13K PC will make anyone able to buy PC & specially when they get full support from Tata indicom, Internet, that too broadband & full compatible software
One thing which bothers me, is the OS, it is custom made by MS but not Windows XP, now on the internet we have files in the format of Quicktime & Real Media, how can one play these since they are supported by WMP10
Other then that, they support all the important files, like PDF doc excel etc, I think with each SP or Update for PIC they will provide updated version of the software embeded, which can only be updated by Tata Indicom, like if they provide Acrobat reader 6 & after 3 months v7 comes out then either U can download it in the PIC like Windows Update (Pic Update) or U can download a Package like the usual WMP10 setup etc to install, hmm, if this is so then good move MS
one things more should be added in it, as an upgrade option, internal DVD burner, with the current technology, it will be really cheap to make a DVD writter with 24X/24X/48X CD Burning & 16X DVD read, along with 8X DVD-R, DVD+R writting& 8X DVD-RW & DVD+RW writing capability, since this will be an embeded solutoion, so it will cost no more then 4K to produce
Also MS can do is that if a 3rd party vendor makes a software for PIC then he has to make it verified by MS, stability & quality both will be maintained
