Windows 7 starter edition may still be a pretty cut down version of the upcoming OS, but one thing Microsoft has changed its mind about is limiting the number of applications that can run simultaneously. Apparently, feedback from OEMs asked for a richer small notebook experience with the starter edition so the decision to lift the limit was made. That means that anyone using Windows 7 starter will be able to run as many applications as they want, making it more viable option for those who want to perform basic tasks with their notebooks (or more likely netbooks). There is still no Aero, personalization features, multi-monitor support or DVD playback (among other features), so things are still very basic. Most people will likely want to opt for one of the more full featured versions, even if running a basic netbook.
