Netbooks to incorporate any version of Windows 7


The restrictions imposed by Microsoft Netbooks manufacturers would seem to be forgotten with the arrival of Windows 7.

Of course because a company spokesman noted that now the manufacturers of these computers can install any version of Windows 7 on them, without any limitations whatsoever. A measure that will be very well received by manufacturers and by users and seeks to counter the growing use of Linux based Operating Systems and the entry of equipment ARM processors.

While this is an excellent measure which we all applauded, in practice we do not know the impact it will have because you do not know the performance you would have a Netbook, and those that are currently marketed with Windows 7 Ultimate and all its graphic paraphernalia enabled (Aero). Another issue that must be considered is the price they might achieve these computers running versions of Windows 7 whose license necessarily raise its market price, so they may no longer be competitive.

At the end have to be Netbooks manufacturers who must see benefit from this measure, which clearly pointed in the right direction.
