Windows 7 Starter.

Ralph Hale

Are there features missing in 7 starter that would affect the performance of Logos?

Is it slow because its a netbook or because it is W7 Starter?

Slow because it is a netbook, I had the same problem for a while, then I ditched the netbook.

It is the Netbook that is slow. The Starter version is cut down for Netbook hardware but is restricted to 2 GB memory irrespective of hardware. Otherwise, it runs software like any other version.

Netbooks, good in theory, terrible in execution.  At least in my experience...

I think it it the Atom processor and 2Gb RAM that slows it down, but (I may be wrong) I believe only netbooks are sold with W7 starter, so it is unlikely that anybody has W7 starter unless they have a netbook.

Gotcha… Ralph had asked specifically about W7 starter edition, rather than asking about netbooks… Can you purchase a W7 starter license by itself?

I don't believe so. Notice at winows.microsoft.com there is no price listed for starter while the other editions do have prices.

Very satisfied with Netbook performance when I use it - though that is less frequently now with a Tablet PC laptop.  The Netbook's most common role now is as a GPS using MS Streets and Trips.
