If you have been following the news about Microsoft, you probably know that Vista has been a disaster. Microsoft is desperate to make Windows 7 a success. The easiest way to do that is to make netbook owners want to upgrade to Windows 7 premium. Microsoft plans to include Windows 7 starter edition on new netbooks. But that comes with serious limitations. For starters, you won’t be able to run more than 3 programs. That means you are not going to get much done with the starter package. This is clearly another devious effort by Microsoft to box in the consumers and force them to commit to premium versions of Windows.

The better option at this point is to stick with Linux. Linux is a more stable and cheaper option for netbook owners, and you can get your work done without any limitations. A lot of netbook owners don’t feel too comfortable with Linux, but there is nothing to be scared about. Linux is fun, secure, and free! It is time to dump Windows.
