3-app limit gone from Win 7 starter – Aero/custom themes/wallpapers still blocked

windows7

Netbook users who were worried of the upcoming 3-app limit on their netbooks that were more than capable of running more than 3 apps can rest assured that Windows 7 starter, the netbook edition, will in fact let multitaskers do what they do best.  However, the more creative and artistically minded will still have a huge problem in that the Windows Aero look will not be available in starter.  Meaning custom wallpapers, colors, themes, etc. will not be featured in 7 starter.  Again, the expressive individuals will be saddened by the lack of expressiveness.  But how many people will really feel that obligated and moved to pony up $100+ in order to change their wallpapers/themes?  If you’re going to create false limitations in order to force people into upgrading, the 3-app limit at least made more sense.  That is a huge limitation that will affect many.  The new limit – meh?  Who cares?  Do you?

    I do not understand companies imposing stupid limits on their customers with products. I thought the goal of a business was to make money and satisfy a need, not make money and piss of customers.
