There was some discussion about which editions of Windows 7 would run fine on netbooks lately after Microsoft’s announcement about the different Windows 7 editions. According to a statement by Brad Brooks, corporate vice president for Windows Consumer Product Marketing, which was published at Arstechnica earlier today. According to his statement all editions of Windows 7 will run fine on netbooks although Windows 7 Starter and Windows 7 Home Premium have been designated for that market.
The low resource usage of the operating system – we mentioned earlier that it would run fine on 512 Megabytes of Ram computer systems – makes it an ideal installation for netbook installations unlike its predecessor Windows Vista. This essentially means that any version of Windows 7 will run fine on netbooks and that it is more a choice of the OEM manufacturer than anything else.
Another thing to remember is that it is possible to upgrade to another edition of Windows 7 at anytime. Users should still expect that most netbooks will ship with either Windows 7 Starter or Windows 7 Home Premium.
