India to be fifth 'flagship' for Windows XP Starter Edition
Talkback The telugu language you have introduced in XP edition, though good, it needs more enhancements. First of all the font is very bad. For normal writing with pen it is ok. But when printing, better you see CDCs Ileap software fonts, or that of Anu fonts.
