What remains to be seen is how they'll differentiate it now from home basic.

And no I don't think anyone cares about the wallpaper...

Windows 7 Starter now starting at 0.99 ^^ (in my mind) that os sucks but its good for netbooks.

Microsoft was better off without it but still it sucks as a starter os.

Big step forward for Microsoft. In my opinion, it was a huge mistake to damage the rep of Windows 7 by applying a limit like that because people will view Starter as a part of the whole Windows 7 experience, Starter or not.

Would be interesting to see how they will tempt users to upgrade to Home Premium now since there's a lot more "leverage." Any guesses on tricks they'll try to pull?
