Robert, this could also indicate a Red Flag. Before deciding check out the graphics card, processor, and memory capacity. If these meet "Your" requirements for "Your" specific intended use of the Netbook, then the Windows Starter OS, or base OS as Bob pointed out, should work just fine. As Bob point out, Starter is a stripped down version of the Windows OS. Unfortunately, I have never used Windows 7 starter version, and cannot comment on its reliability, from experience.

Stripped down mostly means that the OS doesn't have all the fancy graphic stuff because of the limited graphics card, processor, and memory. Legacy doesn't require or use any fancy graphics. It will run fine on any 'base' machine. I think that "Starter" is a terrible name for an 'base' Operating System. I think people see it as being substandard. If you thrive on all the fancy graphics then I guess it is substandard. A basic Chevy will take you to all the same places that a Cadillac will.

The problem is it has Windows 7 Starter on it. I am leery of that- does anyone have a Netbook with Windows 7 Starter on it, and is running Legacy on it? How well does Legacy run on it? Several Internet sites said the "Starter" version was really stripped down, so I want to be certain first. I want to be sure it will accommodate Legacy, accommodate my photos, etc. Thank you.
