Weren't you guys going to have $35 tablets? Or so I've read...

Nope, none that i can recollect. If they provide to each one of them for free just like mid-day meal, India will be bankrupt

None that I know of, it's the lightest and fastest readily-available custom XP out there.

How many versions does exist ? Just wanted to make sure that i am downloading the proper version.

Amazed to hear that Argentina provides Netbook to schools. You guys are lucky. Here in India , the government provides free mid-day meals to schools .

PS: Is there any faster/lighter version than MicroXp ?

Just a political stunt. The state banned all private retirement fund companies, allowing only the state to handle the funds (which is 11% of your salary).
Then they used those funds to buy the netbooks. They did the same thing with the transmission of Soccer (handled by a corporation), and also created a free Digital TV network (including a free Digital TV receptor for Retired and poor people).
They also decided to simply give away money to the families that a have underage kids that go to school, and have no incom (a.k.a they do not work)
They just gave an "I.O.U" note to the office handling the retirement funds.
Meanwhile, a law to permanently raise the retirement payment to be 82% of the minimum wage was voted, approved and a few hours later banned by the president because THAT "will bankrupt the government"...The 82% law was on hold for decades.
Sorry to ruin your excitement
