Microsoft removes Windows 7 restrictions from netbooks

However, Microsoft has finally come to their senses and will allow OEMs to ship netbooks with any version of Windows 7. Microsoft has also removed the unpopular three app limit from the Starter version of the OS.
“OEMs and ODMs have the choice to install any version of Windows on a netbook,” said a Microsoft UK spokesperson. “[But] Starter is an entry version and doesn’t have many of the consumer or business features. The three application limit isn’t there anymore.”
