Microsoft didn’t want to go through the trouble of their Windows Capable marketing which saw lawsuits filed left and right. Users who bought PCs with the Vista Capable logo soon find out that their computer could not run features because of hardware deficiencies.
Microsoft has initially put a lot of restrictions on Windows 7 Starter Edition which include the annoying three application limit to ensure that users wouldn’t expect more from their hardware.
Today, Microsoft has officially announced that they are lifting the restriction.According to Brandon LeBlanc, Windows communication manager:
“We are also going to enable Windows 7 Starter customers the ability to run as many applications simultaneously as they would like, instead of being constricted to the 3 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.”
This should make Windows 7 starter edition look better than ever before.
