Not being familiar with the complete Win 7, I
figure that the OS has been stripped down -
limited. I don't know what's missing and I'm
curious to know if anyone knows just what was
removed. I can't imagine M$ giving away the
complete Win 7 OS with NetBooks.

"So which netbooks will come preloaded with Windows 7 Starter, and which
will receive Home Premium? - That's up to the OEM. If there are any
secret hardware requirements, Microsoft isn't divulging them, and it
says that any negotiations between itself and its OEMs are confidential."

Thank you Mike for enlightening me. I was puzzled
about what was ripped out.
Now I have more information that will keep me out
of trouble for a while :-)

My first interpretation of the Subject as reading : -

"Versions of Ffox and Tbird than can work in Win 7 ( 'comma' or 'are')
limited ?"
