The pricing of Windows 7 is much better than Vista. I have been running Windows 7 for six months on a desktop and it is solid and reliable. It is going to be a good choice for someone buying a refurbished laptop or refurbished netbook since the lower price of the computer plus attractively priced software will yield a great bargain.

They should of given it a better name. Like 3rd world edition :P Anyway for people who are confused, this version is going to cost tens of dollars instead on hundreds.... I don't see why people are complaining about it. Seems a lot of people going to get confused with this ‘starter’ version. They should of given it a better name. Like 3rd world edition :P

If we want our computers to be extremely slow with 10 applications open then why should they stop us? I'm running my asus n10 with vista and I've got my google chrome(great netbook browser) with 15 tabs open, outlook, msn, word, itunes and kaskpersky running. I don't know how I'd go with a 3 app limit I dont see why they would put a limit on how many applications they can open.. let us use our computers how we want!!

So i guess you wont be able to run IM while you have the web browser going. Unless you want to kill anti virus , and risk destroying your hardware.

Many Linux netbooks have been returned due to the fact that the majority of people who buy netbooks do not know Linux, and therefore didn't understand it. Just look at the netbook market now, the cheapest ones are the Linux ones, but I'd go out of my way to pay more for an XP one. If a normal consumer saw no difference between a linux netbook and a windows 7 starter netbook, they'd most likely choose the Windows 7 netbook. While I'd prefer Home Premium or Ultimate on a netbook (im using it on one now), Price points are a massive influence in ones buying selection. You have to remember also that it is a netbook, occasional browsing and online chat are what they are built for.
