Microsoft plans to expand its low-cost Windows XP Starter Edition program to Brazil, the company confirmed on Monday.

"On April 13, Microsoft is going to announce the expansion of its five market program to include Brazil," a Microsoft representative told CNET News.com. The company already offers the software in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, and has announced plans for India and Russia. The effort in India was pushed back slightly but the company has said it expects to have Starter Edition launched there by June.
