anyone who has windows 7 starter edition?
i hear that when you get a windows 7 starter edition that you cant do the following features ( because i am getting a netbook with windows 7 starter)
( i got this info from a website)
It is important to note that Windows 7 Starter still includes only a subset of the features offered in the higher editions of Windows 7 such as Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional and above. Windows 7 Starter does not include:
•Aero Glass, meaning you can only use the “Windows Basic” or other opaque themes. It also means you do not get Taskbar Previews or Aero Peek.
•Personalization features for changing desktop backgrounds, window colors, or sound schemes.
•The ability to switch between users without having to log off.
•Multi-monitor support.
•DVD playback.
•Windows Media Center for watching recorded TV or other media.
•Remote Media Streaming for streaming your music, videos, and recorded TV from your home computer.
•Domain support for business customers.
•XP Mode for those that want the ability to run older Windows XP programs on Windows 7.
is this true??
Yes it is true, many netbook manufacturers were using Windows XP, because the Windows Vista system requirements were too high to put on a netbook. Microsoft designed Windows 7 Starter Edition, because Windows XP was getting outdated. Windows 7 Starter Edition is designed specifically for netbooks because they are slower, and cannot simultaneously run applications. In addition, Windows 7 Starter Edition can only run 3 programs at a time. Yes, the info you listed is true. Go to microsoft.com and read Windows 7 page. It will give more info. Good luck!
