Microsoft Admits Windows 7 is Complicated

It is a little unusual for me to post something like this, so let’s just say it falls under the category of “Too good not to share!”

Here’s the story. My wife’s computer is broken, so we’re getting her a new one. She doesn’t do any hefty processing, so she wants a netbook. You know, one of those small, lightweight laptops.

As we looked around for a good (read, “inexpensive”) one, we found that they come with Windows 7 Starter Edition. Yet, when you visit the Windows 7 website and look under “Compare Editions” they only show a comparison of Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate.

What gives?

When you click on “Starter,” however, this what you read:

Did you catch that? “Windows 7 Starter puts less between you and what you want to do–less waiting, less clicking, less hassle connecting to networks.”

So if that’s true, I can only assume the converse is also true: “Buy any upgraded edition of Windows 7 and we guarantee more waiting, more clicking, more hassle connecting to networks.”

I love it!

I also love my Mac!
