The company Microsoft has officially confirmed rumors that a functional version of Windows 7 designed for netbooks, will not be limited.

The largest software maker confirmed that the restriction on the number of simultaneously run applications, previously scheduled in Windows 7 Starter, was removed. "The OEM and ODM can install on any version of netbook Windows", ─ spokesman said Microsoft UK. ─ "But Starter minimum version and has many consumer and business functions. Limit of three applications no longer exists."

Starter version of Windows 7 appears only in 32-bit version, as well as Windows 7 Home Basic, designed for developing markets. In the Starter will not be for features such as Aero Glass, Taskbar Previews and Aero Peek, lacking features such as personalization of the desktop, fast user switching, multiple-monitor support, built-in playback of DVD, support and domain mode XP, available Windows Media Center, except addition, computers and netbooks with Windows 7 Starter can join Homegroup, but can not themselves create it.

In Windows 7 Home Basic also does not interface Aero, Taskbar Previews, Internet Connection Sharing and other interesting features, in addition, this version will not be sold in the United States, Europe and other "established" markets. Previously, the main advantage of this version of Starter have been no limit on the number of launched applications, but now, when this restriction is removed, it becomes difficult to understand why we need two versions for beginners one operating system.
