Now that's really interesting. Recently we blogged about the weird 3 applications limit in Windows 7 Starter Edition:
Windows 7 Starter Edition contains 3 applications limit, i.e. you can't run more than 3 applications simultaneously. If 3 programs are already running and you try to run a new program, you get following message:
Now it seems that Microsoft is going to remove this 3 app limit from Windows 7 Starter Edition. "Paul Thurrott" @ SuperSite posted this information:
Microsoft to remove 3 app limit from Windows 7 Starter . No word yet on whether the other lame limitation--the bizarre inability to change the desktop wallpaper--will be fixed as well. To be honest, this is a bigger issue than the 3 app limit, which sounds horrible but doesn't actually come up all that often if at all.
So Microsoft is really going in the right direction with Windows 7. Isn't it?

Even if all these dumb restrictions get fixed, It would be nice to have a explanation of why they were put there in the first place from Microsoft.

It's all about the pricing! Dell says, and that worries me, that pricing might be a problem - obviously must they already what the price is.
As Microsoft itself says, it has to compete with old and/or pirated windows copies. Especially XP... THey should be extremely careful with the win7 price.
