For the record, Windows 7 isn't crippled to stop it from being used on netbooks. I run Windows 7 Ultimate on my Asus EEE 1000HE, and it works flawlessly... it's not noticeably slower than XP, and I even get all the eye candy.
- tvon 17y agoNobody said that Windows 7 Ultimate wouldn't run on a netbook, what they said is that the version of Windows 7 that comes with netbooks is "crippled". I don't recall the details but I believe it has been limited to running 2 applications at a time.
- Quiark 17y agoThat is true, it's Windows 7 Starter (see wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editions). It does not seem to limit the number of programs though. I don't think the Starter edition is a particularly evil thing from Microsoft, because this edition is cheaper.
