As was reported here on Neowin, there was speculation that Microsoft were planning to remove the application limit on Windows 7 Starter Edition.
According to The Windows Blog, Microsoft have confirmed that the "3 applications at a time" limit that hobbled earlier versions of the Starter
Edition has been removed for Windows 7. Now the only effective limit on the number of programs you can run concurrently is set by the amount of your
memory. Windows 7 Starter Edition will have other limits, however, in order to differentiate it from other versions of the OS. "Windows 7 Starter
does not include: * Aero Glass, meaning you can only use the "Windows Basic" or other opaque themes.

30.05.2009Spyware Doctor Starter Edition has SMALLER Signature D/B.
According to discussions in
This PC Tools Forum Thread, the Spyware Doctor Starter Edition, which is available as a Freeware Download as a part of the
Google Pack, has a MUCH Smaller Database. Even during updates it is allowed to download FEWER updates than its subscribed versions.
Most
users of the Starter Edition are of the impression that the only limitation in the Starter Edition was that some of the On-Guard facilities were not
available. So, what exactly has been left out, other than the obvious 400K fewer malware signatures in the Starter Editions !? Its a question which
may worry users of the Starter Edition.
If this is indeed the case, then PC Tools should have made it clear on its page,
here, that apart from the absence of real-time active monitors, the
Starter Editions Malware database is also limited, and consequently it does not detect or clean 100% of malware !

04.03.2008Microsoft may adjust limitations on Windows 7 Starter
According to Paul Thurrott, Microsoft will be lifting the three running application limit for Windows 7 Starter Edition. Previously with XP and
Vista, Starter Edition was designed to run on low end equipment and be sold in what Microsoft called "developing markets." But for Windows 7,
Microsoft moved Starter Edition into the rest of the world and decided to sell Home Basic in the developing markets instead. Starter Edition is
expected to be sold on netbook class systems, so even if there isn't a software coded limit to how many applications you can run at one time, the
limited amount of processor and memory resources in the computer will continue to be the deciding factor.

may be one of over 1,500
developers accepted to OLPC's
developer program, the company
does have access to XO
prototypes and has said that
it will develop for the XO
laptop. However, when asked if
OLPC was aware of any tests of
either XP Starter Edition or

XO, Bender said that he was
not.
