But based on the feedback Microsoft has received, they have decided to remove that limitation. Announced today on the Windows 7 Team blog Brandon LeBlanc said, \u201cWe are also going to enable Windows 7 Starter customers the ability to run as many applications simultaneously as they would like, instead of being constricted to the 3 application limit that the previous Starter editions included. We believe these changes will make Windows 7 Starter an even more attractive option for customers who want a small notebook PC for very basic tasks, like browsing the web, checking email and personal productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here is what you will be missing in the starter edition of Windows 7<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aero Glass, meaning you can only use the \u201cWindows Basic\u201d or other opaque themes. It also means you do not get Taskbar Previews or Aero Peek. <\/li>\n<li>Personalization features for changing desktop backgrounds, window colors, or sound schemes. <\/li>\n<li>The ability to switch between users without having to log off. <\/li>\n<li>Multi-monitor support. <\/li>\n<li>DVD playback. <\/li>\n<li>Windows Media Center for watching recorded TV or other media. <\/li>\n<li>Remote Media Streaming for streaming your music, videos, and recorded TV from your home computer. <\/li>\n<li>Domain support for business customers. <\/li>\n<li>XP Mode for those that want the ability to run older Windows XP programs on Windows 7.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/windowsteamblog.com\/blogs\/windows7\/default.aspx\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/windowsteamblog.com\/blogs\/windows7\/default.aspx', 'Windows 7 Team blog']);\" target=\"_blank\">Windows 7 Team blog<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Please join us in our <a href=\"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/abt\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">Forums<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow us on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/alienbabeltech\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/twitter.com\/alienbabeltech', 'Twitter']);\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the latest updates from ABT, please <a href=\"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/?feed=rss2\" target=\"_blank\">join our RSS News Feed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Join our Distributed Computing teams<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Folding@Home &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech &#8211; 164304<\/li>\n<li>SETI@Home &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech &#8211; 138705<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldcommunitygrid.org\/reg\/viewRegister.do?teamID=3P39R3SRV1\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.worldcommunitygrid.org\/reg\/viewRegister.do?teamID=3P39R3SRV1', 'World Community Grid &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech']);\" target=\"_blank\">World Community Grid &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early planning by Microsoft seemed to indicate that the started edition of Windows 7 would only allow users to use 3-applications at a time.
