Microsoft has chosen India as the fifth destination for a low-cost version of Windows. The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant on Wednesday announced a yearlong pilot program to start shipping Windows XP Starter Edition to India in early 2005. Earlier this week, the company made a similar move in Russia, while plans for Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia were confirmed in August, as part of the software maker's plan to gain market share in developing nations.
