Windows 7 Starter
Available worldwide to OEMs on new PCs
Missing Aero UI tweaks
Limited to 3 simultaneous applicationsWhy would anybody pay for a computer that allows them to only run 3 apps at once? I can't imagine the sales pitch for this one.

There's an article a well known CPian wrote on running an app as a service (of course, I can't remember his name right now and I'm too lazy to google). I wonder if that "3 concurrent app" limitation in W7 Starter can be overcome by running apps as services, hehe. Marc

That would be an interesting experiment, but certainly would be a painful work around.

I'm not exactly sure what sort of 'windows work' you do and this question might therefore be irrelevant but would the majority of your users moving to vista/7 have a bearing on the length of time that turns out to be, or will your work allow you to continue with XP even after that happens. For myself, I have tried the 7 Beta and quite like it, but finances preclude my moving for at least two years or so.

In the corporate world, they could well still be using Windows 2000. We are where I work, which is a MediumCorp rather than a BigCorp, along with Office 2000 (although I have managed to snag an XP box for development). The last I heard, we might even be moving to XP this year...
