Win7之家（ afsion.com.cn）：押寶Netbooks和Win7 - 將成微軟賺錢機(jī)器

 此前，當(dāng)微軟宣布Windows 7會(huì)有六個(gè)版本時(shí)，相信多數(shù)人都情不自禁地抖了一下。大多數(shù)人連Vista的版本還沒理清，又要陷入Windows 7版本的迷惑中去了。但是微軟對此卻很有信心， 因?yàn)橛蠳etbooks。

由于Windows 7在內(nèi)核上作出了改進(jìn)，對硬件需求遠(yuǎn)比Vista要低，也就是說，現(xiàn)在正在運(yùn)行Windows XP的機(jī)器都能流暢運(yùn)行Windows 7，至少Windows 7 Starter版本可以。但是，由于Starter版本只能運(yùn)行三個(gè)程序的限制，微軟預(yù)計(jì)會(huì)有不少Netbooks用戶會(huì)升級到Windows 7 Home Basic或Home Premium。

目前，HP已經(jīng)確認(rèn)會(huì)在其Netbooks上預(yù)裝Windows 7，而且Windows 7 Beta在SONY VAIO P上運(yùn)行相當(dāng)流暢。不過到底Windows 7 Starter版本能否促使用戶升級到Home Basic，而不是Linux還需要時(shí)間來證明。

附部分原文：

When all six versions of Windows 7 were announced, we couldn't help but recoil in horror -- most still don't have all the flavors of Vista straight and now we all have to learn a new recipe for confusion. Microsoft, however, is quite confident that this array of offerings will fix one of its biggest woes: netbooks. If the wee things are running Windows at all it's usually XP, an issue that the company thinks Windows 7 Starter will address, acting as the low-cost intro Vista never was.
