Well I got my new ASUS netbook (also got my girl a pink one for her birthday for school purposes) and fired that bad boy up. It came with Windows 7 Starter. I've been using Ubuntu religiously and haven't used Window in some time so I decited to see what Windows 7 is really about (I've used it here and there but really didn't use it if you know what I mean). Well first off, it came with something called Windows 7 Starter.... Starter??? Well it turns out Windows 7 Starter has to be the most basic piece of S@#T I've ever encountered. I couldn't even change the desktop picture, that's how weak it was. I really couldn't get into it but I was going to install Ubuntu any ways, but the thing that gets me that my girlfriend doesn't know Ubuntu and needs Office because she said she doesn't like open office and needs Word and powerpoint for school so she is limited with this Windows Starter crap. I also noticed an icon in the control panel that says "Windows Anytime Upgrade"... WTF is that what Windows is coming to, they have to rip off their customers. They want $79.95 for home premium, the weakest one, then you have to pay god knows how much for Office. This netbook that started cheap is starting to get expensive and giving me a headache and makes me just want to return it. In short I told her she is using Open Office and that's the end of it. I just had to share with the group how ridicules and disappointing what should be a good experience should have been turned the opposite.
