Haven't heared..
but it may be some kind of offer from MS.. as it did in Malaysia, Brazil, Korea etc 2 years back to stop piracy and increase the use of genuine windows by selling a special copy of XP for only 100$.

Yeah... but anything can be expected from MS.. they know no one will buy for 6000 here even not the govt.. so they might be giving more sophisticated incentives for it.. after all we are several times more populous country then Brazil or Malaysia.

BTW, where did you saw the poster?
