Microsoft to offer crippled version of Windows 7 for netbooks

While I'm usually one that frowns when MS does this sort of stuff, I wonder if this could be a positive for those who might use Windows 7 on a netbook. My thinking was that Windows 7 will be familiar in look to most users, plus, with a 3 program cap on it, they can't overload the netbook as easily, and therefore, it will perform better, longer. I may be totally dreaming, but I could see it helping. As far as of techs go, and other power users, though, I could see that as a deterent.

and i bet 90% of the netbooks will have this garbage OS on it I get so tired of this same crap from MS the PC manufactuer themselves should be acountable for this selling inferior software while collecting for their hardware. the hardware should just use ubuntu or atleast give an option before sale

"whine..."

If you don't like Windows, shut up and dont' use it. Better yet, put your money where your mouth is and come up with a better o/s yourself. Otherwise, you're all dumbed down

1. Could you possibly think of a more prejudiced headline next time? Thanks.

2. "Whah. I hate Windows. Whah!" Silence, child. If you don't like it, then feel free to uninstall it. And until you can develop a much more user friendly OS than Ubuntu (yeah, that's right. Regardless of what you Linux fanboi bigots might think, it is NOT usable by most of the idiot monkeys out there. If it were, then they'd be using it instead of Windows), then please do society a favor and STFU.
