Microsoft could not bring down the price of Windows here in the Philippines because visiting people will just go here and buy it using their dollars/pound and take it back to their own country.
Kapatid, this is a hoax. This rumor has been going on for two years. Dubbed as Microsoft "Bintata", this was harriedly announced by PGMA last year during a presscon sometime last year, which caught Microsoft Philippines senior officers by surprise because as far as they officially know, there is no such product - and that is still their official stand: there is and would be no Tagalog version of Windows available in the near-future.

However...

There is a proposal that was submitted by Microsoft Philippines last year to their Redmond HQ, proposing the development of a Tagalog version of Windows. This is still a proposal until now.

But...

A senior MS Philippines honcho issued an official statement also late last year that all of this Microsoft "Bintana" stuff is "purely speculation" and that there is no such thing.
