According to Microsoft, the Windows 7 Starter version of the main burden of two purposes, first, it provides users with a low-cost solution, than the other Windows 7 prices are cheaper. Secondly, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM channel) is provided with a more reasonable price version of Windows 7 for netbook netbooks.

Now, OEMs say, Microsoft is asking for 45 to 55 dollars for the streamlined starter version. In fact, the OEM manufacturer considered the price to be not too cheap, although this price is lower than the other version of Windows 7, but currently on the Netbook XP authorized only 15 U.S. dollars. If compared with this price, Windows 7 Starter is not cost-effective.

If Microsoft wanted the starter version to be installed in a notebook, it would not be possible to do so, because the price would not be higher than $35 for either Windows XP or Linux.
