Starter Edition is for emerging markets (3rd world) so obviously depending on the price of the notebook it depends whether it gets ultimate, home or pro.

Why exactly does Engadget keep trying to complicate this ?]]>Feb 10th 2009 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/hp-netbooks-likely-to-run-at-least-three-versions-of-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/hp-netbooks-likely-to-run-at-least-three-versions-of-windows-7/

To quote the article linked above:

February 9, 2009 (Computerworld) In a vote of confidence for Windows 7's suitability for use on netbook PCs, Hewlett-Packard Co. said it will likely offer at least three different editions of the upcoming operating system on future models of its Mini netbooks.

That includes the Professional and Home Premium editions, which Microsoft Corp. last week said will be the two primary versions of Windows 7, and the low-end Starter edition, which will limit users to running three applications at a time.

As part of last week's announcement, Microsoft confirmed that there will be no special "netbook SKU" of Windows 7. Instead, PC makers will be allowed to install the Starter edition, formerly consigned to developing countries only...]]>Feb 10th 2009 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/hp-netbooks-likely-to-run-at-least-three-versions-of-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/hp-netbooks-likely-to-run-at-least-three-versions-of-windows-7/Feb 11th 2009 4:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/hp-netbooks-likely-to-run-at-least-three-versions-of-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/hp-netbooks-likely-to-run-at-least-three-versions-of-windows-7/
