Chabil Ha' writes "Heard the rumors that that the much maligned Windows 7 Starter Edition would be able to run more than three concurrent processes? Today, the Windows team made it official:

Based on the feedback we've received from partners and customers asking us to enable a richer small notebook PC experience with Windows 7 Starter, we've decided to enable Windows 7 Starter customers the ability to run as many applications simultaneously as they would like, instead of being constricted to the 3 application limit that the previous Starter editions included. We believe these changes will make Windows 7 Starter an even more attractive option for customers who want a small notebook PC for very basic tasks, like browsing the web, checking email and personal productivity.

Small consolation, of course, if you want to watch a DVD naively, but I'm sure this won't stop the Slashdot crowd from enabling it."
