Please be aware and do your shopping folks when you shop for netbooks with Windows 7. A lot of them have Windows 7 Starter on them, which is very limited in features compared to Windows 7 Home Premium. For one, you cant even change the background. For another, you are only limited to having a few programs open at a time. If you can, find a netbook with Windows XP, unless of course they are offering a more complete version of Windows 7 in the future on a netbook.

Thank you for alerting us to this, HockeyGuy. I hadn't realized there was a Starter program and when looking both at HSN and store ads, I've noticed that some computers come with the Starter and some with the Home Premium. It's a huge difference and one maybe of us wouldn't have noticed.
