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

              As funny as that was Gary, I can't help but think of the amount of time you spent typing all that out. :)

              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.

                    How intuitive. Of course, you've completely missed out: Windows 7 Server Windows 7 Enterprise Windows 7 Data Center Windows 7 Really big office block Windows 7 Holy Smoke - how much disk space does this beast consume and Windows 7 I've just figured out that they are all the same OS, and I can reenable features just by tweaking the registry R1 SP2.

                        I don't think this is entirely Microsoft's fault. The EU, US Justice, various states and countries basically forced the existence of the Starter and Basic versions, though I'm sure there are Microsoft Marketing Morons (yes, redundant) who think it's great.

                          THe N (no media player) versions were the EU's fault. Starter and basic were about competing for low price points without loosing revenue elsewhere. Hopefully win7 basic will be functional at the level of XPhome (not media center) instead of totally crippled.
