Windows 7 "Starter" on a laptop
I created the universal installation disc from this forums' tutorials.
From this, I installed Starter on a laptop I refurbished, which I was eventually going to give to my daughter for college with some flavor of W7.
I was curious as to how it looked and if it would be suitable for her work. Well, she saw me working on it, and wanted to live with it for awhile. Been using it for about ten days, and she loves it. Boots up quickly; no crapware; she loves IE9's performance; and Wordpad suits her homework just fine.
I know that Starter only came out with OEM netbooks and was not made available to the general public. But, I'm wondering if Microsoft would allow me to purchase a license for it before 30 days elapsed?
