Windows 7 Starter Edition promises $200 netbooks

April 10, 2009 Computer News

It looks like Microsoft is all too happy to talk up a few of the potential side effects of the OS variant, including the 1-1216221768utpspromise of some actual $200 netbooks by this coming holiday season.

Microsoft apparently sees netbooks running Windows 7 Starter Edition as all but replacing current entry-level Linux-based netbooks, which it says see a “disproportionate amount of returns,” although Microsoft insists that it will market Home Premium as the default option for most netbooks. Microsoft states that it’s going to make Windows 7 as accommodating for netbook manufacturers as possible, adding that it has cleaned up the system tray and “made some other concessions for the OEMS to help with branding.”
