Office Standard 2010 Serial Study claims netbook u

An additional day, another Windows 7 review. The latest comes from Retrevo,Office 2010 64 Bit, a consumer electronics buying site,Office Standard 2010 Serial, which asserts that consumers aren;t keen on Windows seven netbooks operating Starter Edition.Inside a blog publish entitled “Is Microsoft Trying to Kill the Netbook Market?” Retrevo officials outline their findings, based on responses from 1,100 of its “consumers.” Among the claims are users aren;t aware of the limitations of Windows seven Starter Edition (like no desktop personalization, no multimonitor support, no DVD playback). Retrevo said 54% of respondents would not be satisfied if their new Netbook only came with Windows seven Starter Edition. XP Starter was a better choice, Retrovo;s respondents said.While I do think Microsoft would like nothing better than for the netbook market to disappear,Microsoft Office 2010 X86, as it has put a serious dent in its Windows client margins, the rest of Retrovo;s findings seem off-base to me. (Example: Windows 7 netbooks operating Starter will support the use of a DVD player via a USB port, contrary to Retrovo;s assertion that Microsoft killed that XP Starter feature.)Whether you agree with Microsoft;s decision to continue to field lots of several Windows SKUs or not, I;d claim the company has been pretty clear for the past year that Windows 7 Starter was not going to be able to do everything. (Originally, it also was going to be crippled so it wouldn;t allow customers to run more than three apps concurrently, but Microsoft removed that limitation earlier this year.)Microsoft officials also have noted that PC makers can choose any version of Windows seven,Office Professional, including Ultimate,Office Pro 2010 Activation Key, to preload on netbooks. Whether OEMs can cost-justify some of the pricier SKUs is a different matter.I;ve been buying for a Windows seven PC starting on October 22, the day they went on sale at retail. I;ve been impressed by the choice of Windows 7 netbooks I;ve found. Many come with Starter Edition; others I saw were preloaded with Windows Home Premium. Toshiba loaned me one particular of their Mini NB205-N330 netbooks operating Windows 7 Starter. I;ve found it very responsive, portable and perfect for my basic daily tasks (surfing the Net, posting to my weblog, answering email, etc.).Yes, I am a more educated consumer than many out there, so I know what a netbook operating Starter will and won;t do. But two diverse salespeople at my local Best Buy were very clear with me about what Windows 7 starter netbooks would and wouldn;t do. I;m not implying that it;s been completely smooth sailing for PC consumers looking to move to Win7; Computerworld noted recently that some Dell and HP customers who ordered upgrades to Windows seven are having to wait considerably longer than they were led to believe for their upgrade disks.I;d be curious what others in the market for Windows seven PCs have found. Are retailers, PC makers, resellers savvy about the new PCs and upgrade deals out there? Are Windows 7 Starter netbooks good enough for you?
