The software giant also confirmed that the daft three application limit originally planned for Windows 7 Starter has been removed.
"OEMs and ODMs have the choice to install any version of Windows on a netbook," said a Microsoft UK spokesperson. "[But] Starter is an entry version and doesn’t have many of the consumer or business features. The three application limit isn’t there anymore."
Microsoft's reassurance follows heavy hints dropped earlier this week at Intel's Developer Forum in San Francisco.
