Thanks to Olcay for the heads up
Microsoft is currently planning a new edition to the Windows XP family of operating systems, namely "Starter Edition". Starter Edition is the name of a previously announced effort to deliver a tailored and localized Windows product to Thailand and Malaysia, as part of Microsofts efforts to enable access to technology.
Previous rumours suggested that Windows XP Starter Edition would include a set of applications on top of the standard Windows XP installation (including Office 2003). We cannot confirm these reports but are awaiting a statement from Microsoft Press.

However, I believe that the entire deal here is not about 'enabling access to technology,' but rather 'increasing awareness/encouraging access to legal software.' Since illegal software is available openly in Malaysia and Thailand, and legal software is literally non-existant to a lot of people here.
