Starter is the CIA version (China, India, Africa - sorry, guys), and Home Basic is the "My laptop can't Aero, and I only surf anyway" edition.

It looks like they didn't learn ANYTHING from our Vista experience or Apple's single-version marketing... I thought the complaints were loud and numerous enough to be noticed by Microsoft, but I guess not...

C'mon John, surely you know better than that. Multiple, confusing versions is simply a sales tactic used by the unscrupulous against the ignorant. Car companies have been doing it for decades. Your average moron will pay $$$$ for that fine Corinthian leather that actually came off some steer headed for the slaughter house in Kansas. This is simply the software version of that. Dad goes into the computer store. Is he going to buy Windows 7 Home Basic because all he does is e-mail and surf pr0n? Hell no! He's going to buy the big tricked-out version.

I would guess that "Windows 7 Compatible" means it will run Starter... They need to shorten the name to Weven.

He used the Windows Repetitive Framework. Microsoft uses this particular framework quite a bit when they want to persist mistakes made in the past. As you can see, Gary has extended the framework to typing repetitively similar words.

Start with Tom's Hardware, and then google for various "reviews" of Weven. Any review that's worth a damn will mention it.

I know that was true with older versions but this can not be the case can it? :rolleyes:
