MAKER OF OVERPRICED PRINTER INK Hewlett Packard has said that at least three versions of the upcoming Windows 7 will be crowbarred into future models of its Mini netbooks.

Apparently the Professional and Home Premium editions and the low-end Starter edition, which will limit users to running three applications at a time, will work on the hardware.

HP said that Windows 7 "runs well" on the Minis, even with Aero turned on. µ

Huh?

"which will limit users to running three applications at a time"

Is this special version called 'Vista' by any chance?

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
