Bought Acer Aspire One with Windows 7 Starter. What are the limitations? What will I not be able to do if I don't ungrade to full version? Can I use Starter as long as I want? Old computer has XP Home.
You can use Starter for as long as you want, but many people complain about how crippled it is and the lack of features.
Windows 7 Starter does not include:
* Aero Glass, meaning you can only use the Windows Basic or other opaque themes. It also means you do not get Taskbar Previews or Aero Peek.
* Personalization features for changing desktop backgrounds, window colors, or sound schemes.
* The ability to switch between users without having to log off.
* 64 bit version
* Multi-monitor support.
* DVD playback.
* Windows Media Center for watching recorded TV or other media.
* Remote Media Streaming for streaming your music, videos, and recorded TV from your home computer.
* Domain support for business customers.
* XP Mode for those that want the ability to run older Windows XP programs on Windows 7.
