Windows XP Tablet PC Edition utilizes the Ink object as a means of data input and storage.

The Starter Edition comes with either Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3, but installs the same components. It works only with Windows XP. However, it will reveal the product key no matter what version of Windows XP you’re running: Home, Professional, or the Corporate Edition. Obtaining and using.

Windows XP Starter Edition is an edition of Windows XP, released on 11 August 2004. It is a stripped down version of Windows XP Home Edition that was released internationally for low-cost or low-end PCs in developing countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and some Latin American countries.

Differences from other SKUs[edit | edit source]

• The Luna theme cannot be activated since the tab to change the theme is removed. However, the file is still available and can be used via registry modification.
• The user cannot run more than three programs or three sessions of a program. Terminating explorer.exe may bypass this though.
• This build will not boot on a faster CPU, as it will result in an 'Unsupported state' error message that results in a system crash. Alongside, it will not recognize more than 512MB of RAM (256MB for most international releases).
• A permanent watermark is added on the bottom right of the screen, which will still appear on top of everything as long as explorer.exe is active.
• It uses large icons and mouse cursor by default.
• There is only one wallpaper that is used by default. However, international releases have different backgrounds.
• It contains a very different File Protection, if there is any user modification in the registry or a few system files, then an 'Unsupported state' error message will appear and then winlogon.exe will get terminated, more than likely leading to a system crash. This is mostly seen Disabling some protection services may prevent this, however it has a very harsh File Protection system which restores the files and the registry settings upon changing them.
• Classic View in the Control Panel is missing, however it can be restored via logging in as a SYSTEM or NETWORKSERVICE account privilege.
• Attempting to logon as NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM works, however it doesn't provide much advantages over the regular 'Administrator' account, and much of the protected system components are controlled by a higher level.
• Being based of Windows XP Home Edition, many MMC extensions won't work, even when being logged on as NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM.
• Terminating critical system processes such as winlogon.exe or lsass.exe is not possible by regular means, and the tskill command line utility is extremely limited.
• Even if all system processes are force stopped, the system does not trigger a BSOD, the only exception to that stopping the RPC service which leads to an issued 'shutdown' by the system.

Apparently, there is also a 1024x768 screen resolution limitation, but it is not implemented.
