Windows 7 Starter Edition: no, no, no
Starter Edition is essentially Windows 7 with a completely arbitrary three-application limit. This restriction is “designed to ensure that users get the best possible performance” from their netbook. That’s kind, isn’t it? Why not go the whole hog and slap the Windows 7 logo on MS-DOS? That’d go like lightning!

My N810 is now more powerful than a Netbook running the latest version of Windows. This just keeps getting better.
