Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone out there has bought a Netbook with Windows 7 Starter on it.

I'm about to buy one and can't decide between Windows XP or Windows 7 Starter Edition.

Anyone any opinions on the comparison of both?

Thanks

Windows 7 is nice. But theres nothing for me that is a need to have. Its just a nice to have.
 
I just got an E6500 laptop from Dell with Win 7 Professional, so far running very smoothly, I love the windows snap features, very useful for file manipulation, sorting etc. I don't think I've ever used the windows key on the keyboard as much.
 
Thanks for your replies but I'm more wondering about Windows 7 Starter Edition as I believe its a cut down version of Windows 7.

So, does anyone have this on their netbook? And if so, how does it compare to Windows XP?

Thanks.
 
I recently purchased a notebook.. im using Windows XP Home edition.. Im just thinking maybe with a notebook, XP is a good option! I havent used Windows7
 
For longevity sake, I probably would opt for Windows 7. XP is old in the tooth, and now that MS have released a successful OS (sorry, Vista), its days are numbered.

There's a chart here showing what features the Starter edition is missing:

Have a look and see which ones you can live without.
