blackturbokitty Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Windows 7 Starter was alright. Though I downgraded to Windows XP because it was too bloated and it lacked simple features. I like how Windows 7 is more stable and gives me more options for network diagnostics, but otherwise it's a step backwards in terms of Windows.

submix8c Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editionshttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/compare?T1=tab15Starter is bottom-of-the-stack, so to speak. Doubt if many folks even bother with it. Chances are, they use the "Anytime Upgrade" our outright purchase one of the better retail versions.Bluntly, YES, it is a step "downward" from XP (Home, even).

blackturbokitty Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 I wouldnt bother with any of Microsoft's other editions of Windows 7 unless I had a faster computer. I'm not upgrading until they pull the plug on support for Windows XP. Otherwise it just seems like a massive waste of time to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I installed Windows 7 Starter on an MSI Wind u100 Netbook with 2GB RAM. I then installed VirtualPC and installed Vista Business x86 inside of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackturbokitty Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 I remember using Windows Vista business 64 bit on a computer at school. It was nice. Though then again all I was doing on it was office 2007. I'm not sure how it runs elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
