Microsoft Limiting Number of Running Apps in Low-End Windows 7
I was reading Slashdot this morning and saw this post about Microsoft and Windows 7 pricing models - their low-end "Starter Edition" is going to limit the user to running three applications at once. Yikes! I suppose that's OK if you're gaming, but that's a really really small market.
Their research says that the average consumer has just over two applications running at once. Maybe... but I'm not buying that line. Make it 10. What's the problem? Someone working at home and needing the "real goods" is going to up-sell anyway. I just don't get it when they cut these numbers. It makes no sense.
Be the Good Guy, not the Cheapskate.
