Hi All, Is this edition better than Vista Home Premium? An Acer netbook cab be gotten with Windows 7 Starter edition for $299.99 or less than $330 with sales tax. I have use for a light weight PC and a portable optical drive is inexpensive. According to Microsoft only the Starter edition is installed on netbooks. The attractive thing about Netbook is the long battery life between rechargeing - about 8 hours compared to the 1.5 hours maximum of a notebook. What about the OS? -- -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
