    What's that Version....?


    What's the "version" of Windows 7 on Netbooks, like, is it the "integrated" version or what...?

    Because on my old laptop, I may put a "lighter" version of Windows 7 on it, as when running allot of my CAD apps (AutoCAD Inventor 2011 and AutoCAD 3DS Max Mostly) my laptop REALLY freezes up.

    I've really already done every optimization possible to my laptop.

    I remember a post somewhere in the past, where a Windows 7. version made specifically for those Atom notebooks was made. I don't really care about a nice look, I'm on classic mode already

    Thanks everyone

    Yikes... But thanks anyway
    I'll see how I can get this,

    One more question though,

    Should I even bother to put Starter onto my laptop, the MS website really doesn't list the EXACT things that are pulled out of starter edition.

    Thanks.

    PS. Buy off-of eBay, ship to my house, install. I live State-side, so I need to buy it out-of-country.

    Here's a good chart of the versions, Windows 7 editions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I'd get Home Premium and turn off Aero Glass. You'll pretty much have the performance hit problem licked. It's the extra graphics load that causes the most problems with Netbooks, mainly due to them being underpowered in the video department. Eliminate unnecessary Services and Programs and you'll take an additional load off the CPU and RAM.

    The next generation of Netbooks will have better graphics and (mostly) dual-core CPUs and won't need nearly as much babying. :)

    Exactly the reason why I think a Netbook/Laptop might not be the best of all choices for Autocad and the likes..low RAM and mediocre GFX just doesn't mix with graphic centered applications (not even mentioning the relative tiny screens

    I had Windows 7 Starter on my Netbook, and had it upgraded to Ultimate.
    It's an HP Mini 110-1125NR, it is more than a year old and it runs Windows 7 with Aero enabled with no problem and with blazing fast speed.

    So I have no idea what the "babying" is all about.

    I have the same netbook. I have Professional on it, and wouldn't exactly call it "blazing fast", but it's very much usable for general use.

    I took Starter straight off of the netbook. Quite a lot is stripped out, including small things like personalisation. But like mentioned previously, having Aero enabled is the real battery drainer, which is what Starter tries to combat.
