11.3.2009Windows 7 Starter Edition details confirmed
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.

30.05.2009Microsoft 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.

23.05.2009Spyware 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 !

24.09.2005Microsoft Takes XP Starter
Edition To Egypt, Turkey
Microsoft added two
new versions of its bare-bones
Windows XP Starter Edition
Tuesday, one in Arabic for the
Egyptian market, the other
targeted at
Turkey.
St
arter Edition is a pared-down
operating system that
Microsoft introduced last year
aimed at countries where
piracy is rampant and incomes
are low. Counting the new
editions released Tuesday,
Starter Edition is now
available in nine languages
and 32
countries.
The
Arabic and Turkish versions
will be distributed in
partnership with the
governments of Egypt and
Turkey, respectively.
"Building on our joint
success in the Affordable PC
Initiative 'PC for Every
Home' that has delivered more
than a quarter of a million
PCs to Egyptian homes, we
anticipate the new Windows XP
Starter Edition will provide
wider and more affordable
technology access to the
masses," said Dr. Tare Kamel,
minister of communications for
the Arab Republic of Egypt, in
a
statement.
Microsof
t did not disclose specific
pricing information for the
two versions. ..

Brandon LeBlanc: For the first time, we will be making Windows 7 Starter available worldwide on small notebook PCs. We are also going to enable

application limit that the previous Starter editions included.
We believe these changes will make Windows 7 Starter an even more
attractive option for customers who want a small notebook PC for very basic tasks, like browsing the web, checking email and personal productivity.

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes: I've spoken before about how Windows 7 Starter edition's

crippled ťStarterť edition Windows 7 for low-cost systems, combined with an easy (but paid for) śAnytime Upgradeť will help boost flagging revenues.

Claims that the One Laptop Per

Bender, president of Software
and Content at OLPC, there is
no agreement in place between
OLPC and Microsoft to offer XO
laptops with any version of
Windows. Bender also indicated
that Microsoft has not
contacted OLPC regarding its
$3 software bundling
program, nor have any
governments requested that the
XO be outfitted with
Windows.
Microsoft
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
Vista Starter Edition on the
XO, Bender said that he was
not.

Microsoft announced that they have removed the netbook restrictions that previously prevented users from installing any version of Windows 7 on their

"
Starter is an entry version and doesn't have many of the consumer or business features. The three application limit isn't there
anymore." Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic variety only come in 32bit versions and are missing a variation of features from the higher end versions.
