Win 7 Low-end version of the three program restrictions

If you've ever seen a version of Windows 7 Starter, your first reaction may be the same as mine: Is Microsoft stupid? This ultra-low-priced version is for netbook, but his biggest obstacle may be to run at most 3 programs at a time. I prefer to form my own opinion based on facts, so I have some discussion about this version, and I've been running Windows 7 Starter in my Sony notebook for the last 3 weeks, and here's some of my ideas.

For Windows 7 Starter, the limitations of these three programs are not as rigid as they might sound. Some readers have written to me asking if the restriction means we can only open 3 windows at the same time. No, that's not true. In fact, I've opened 16 windows at the same time (some of which are multiple-label forms). Take a look at the picture below:

So how do I "steer clear" of this limitation? In fact, the number of open windows is unlimited for the same program. So, you can open an IE browser with 15 tabs at the same time, a picture-editing software that contains 6 images, and some im dialog boxes. If you want to open the fourth program, the following prompts will appear:

In addition, the limitations of 3 programs may not affect some of the day-to-day use of netbook:

*windows Resource Manager is not within limits, so you can open multiple folders at will, and there is no limit to functionality.

* Basic Windows tools are not limited, you can open the Task Manager in the case of 3 kinds of programs.

* Most control Panel items are also unrestricted, no matter what program you are running, you can check the network settings, change power management, install Bluetooth devices, and so on.

* Installation program does not count, I used IE to download chrome and smooth installation, although the previous 3 programs have been run. In addition, while Microsoft has stated that the installer can be exempt from the restrictions, it does not seem to be very accurate, at least I found some problems in the beta version: After running 3 programs, I tried to open a dozen installers, but failed all of them.

* The desktop gadgets is also free.

* Some systems configuration tools (System utilities) are not restricted, such as clipmate (Windows Clipboard enhancements).

* Anti-Virus software running as a system service is not counted within the limits.

In short, when I use the system on the netbook, it works very well. For netbook, most of the tasks can be done in the browser window. You can use IE or chrome or Firefox to check email, build Google Docs, login to Facebook,windows live, and so on. When you are browsing with multiple tabs, all of these tasks can be counted as a program.

If you use the system as a system on a regular notebook, running Office or OpenOffice programs, playing music with itunes or Windows Media Player, and using a third-party IM program, you may be plagued by this version-limiting feature.

If you're considering using Windows 7 Starter, then you have to think first: run on a netbook or a notebook? If the answer is netbook, maybe you can get some surprises from this cheap OS.
