The Windows version intended to match this design/market was also restricted, Windows 7 Starter, though the most basic/cheapest versions were also offered with Linpus/Linux and many were also available with XP.From mid-2009 onwards, OEMs began selling netbooks that exceeded the restrictions put in place by Intel, many of these were probably like yours, a rehash, combining the old hardware with some improvements.It's probably only when you get to the complete redesigns that you can expect full utilisation of the hardware.</blockquote>
