Shorted, by Windows 7 Starter Edition

Windows 7 starter edition, an edition of the upcoming Windows 7 aimed at NetBooks, is a very bad idea. Do the decision makers over at Microsoft really believe serving a big plate of Fajitas, but only providing three tortillas, is going to work?  They have stated that the Starter edition will allow only 3 applications to run at a time.  I can fully understand the need to strip down a version for use on limited performance of a Netbook, but not a crippled version. Can you not get people to upgrade the old fashion way? by enticing them with features worthy of paying more money for?
