	<title>Microsoft Kills 3-App Limit For Windows 7 Starter Edition</title>

	<htmltext>Chabil Ha' writes <i>"Heard the <a href="//slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/23/188245&amp;tid=109">rumors</a> that the much-maligned Windows 7 Starter Edition would be able to run more than three concurrent applications?  Today, <a href="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/05/29/let-s-talk-about-windows-7-starter.aspx">the Windows team made it official</a>: 'Based on the feedback we've received from partners and customers asking us to enable a richer small notebook PC experience with Windows 7 Starter, we've decided to enable Windows 7 Starter customers the ability to run as many applications simultaneously as they would like, instead of being constricted to the 3 application limit that the previous Starter editions included.  We believe these changes will make Windows 7 Starter an even more attractive option for customers who want a small notebook PC for very basic tasks, like browsing the web, checking email and personal productivity.' Small consolation, of course, if you want to watch a DVD natively, but I'm sure this won't stop the Slashdot crowd from enabling it."</i></htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>You know, for posters on a technology site, there are a lot of people here who have no idea what the hell they are talking about when it comes to technology. I'll type this slowly so people can keep up:</p><p>WINDOWS 7 DOES NOT NEED XP MODE TO RUN XP APPS!</p><p>Windows 7, just like Vista, has native compatibility for XP apps. Win32 binaries execute just fine. It does not use a new API, etc. You can take just about any program and install it on Windows 7 and it'll work out of box. That even includes 64-bit Windows 7. It has the same thing that 64-bit Vista and XP do, called Windows on Windows 32. It allows for 32-bit apps to run in a 64-bit OS with basically no speed difference.</p><p>Here's a brief list of apps I've personally tested and found to work in Windows 7 64-bit RC1. This is by no means complete, just ones I've tested myself that I remember:</p><p>Firefox 3, Thunderbird 2, Office 2003, Office 2007, SSH Secure Shell 3.2.9, FreeSSHd, Textpad 5.2.0, Winamp 5.55, Acrobat 9.0, Cadence SPB 16.02, WMWare 6.5, Visual Studio 2008, WinMIPS64, Labview 8, Steam, Impulse, World of Warcraft, Mass Effect, Sony Vegas 8, Sony Sound Forge 9, Adobe Audition 3.</p><p>There's plenty more, this is just what I remember off the top of my head in a small sampling of different areas (consumer, programming engineering, audio production, video production, networking, etc).</p><p>Almost all apps will run fine in Windows 7 as is. Thus, most copies of Windows 7 do not have XP mode available, and even those that do don't ship with it, you have to download it.</p><p>So, what's it for then? Well three major classes of things you might encounter:</p><p>1) Apps with a 16-bit component, or entirely 16-bit. While 32-bit Windows 7 can run 16-bit apps with WOW16, 64-bit Windows can't. So, if you need to run a 16-bit app, XP mode will do that for you since it is a 32-bit XP VM.</p><p>2) Apps that interface with hardware that doesn't have Windows 7 drivers. An app that uses a dongle might be an example. If the manufacturer won't release a driver that works with 7, then you are out of luck. However, with XP mode, you install the driver in XP (is passes through USB devices) and you can use it.</p><p>3) Apps that install a kernel mode driver that is incompatible with 7. Again a lot of this will be 64-bit stuff since while 32-bit apps run fine in 64-bit Windows, all kernel mode code must be 64-bit. Again you might encounter this with old copy protection since that kind of stuff often like to use kernel drivers.</p><p>Now as should be pretty evident, that is really rare shit.

<tokenext>You know , for posters on a technology site , there are a lot of people here who have no idea what the hell they are talking about when it comes to technology .
I 'll type this slowly so people can keep up : WINDOWS 7 DOES NOT NEED XP MODE TO RUN XP APPS ! Windows 7 , just like Vista , has native compatibility for XP apps .
Win32 binaries execute just fine .
It does not use a new API , etc .
You can take just about any program and install it on Windows 7 and it 'll work out of box .
That even includes 64-bit Windows 7 .
It has the same thing that 64-bit Vista and XP do , called Windows on Windows 32 .
It allows for 32-bit apps to run in a 64-bit OS with basically no speed difference.Here 's a brief list of apps I 've personally tested and found to work in Windows 7 64-bit RC1 .
This is by no means complete , just ones I 've tested myself that I remember : Firefox 3 , Thunderbird 2 , Office 2003 , Office 2007 , SSH Secure Shell 3.2.9 , FreeSSHd , Textpad 5.2.0 , Winamp 5.55 , Acrobat 9.0 , Cadence SPB 16.02 , WMWare 6.5 , Visual Studio 2008 , WinMIPS64 , Labview 8 , Steam , Impulse , World of Warcraft , Mass Effect , Sony Vegas 8 , Sony Sound Forge 9 , Adobe Audition 3.There 's plenty more , this is just what I remember off the top of my head in a small sampling of different areas ( consumer , programming engineering , audio production , video production , networking , etc ) .Almost all apps will run fine in Windows 7 as is .
Thus , most copies of Windows 7 do not have XP mode available , and even those that do do n't ship with it , you have to download it.So , what 's it for then ?
Well three major classes of things you might encounter : 1 ) Apps with a 16-bit component , or entirely 16-bit .
While 32-bit Windows 7 can run 16-bit apps with WOW16 , 64-bit Windows ca n't .
So , if you need to run a 16-bit app , XP mode will do that for you since it is a 32-bit XP VM.2 ) Apps that interface with hardware that does n't have Windows 7 drivers .
An app that uses a dongle might be an example .
If the manufacturer wo n't release a driver that works with 7 , then you are out of luck .
However , with XP mode , you install the driver in XP ( is passes through USB devices ) and you can use it.3 ) Apps that install a kernel mode driver that is incompatible with 7 .
Again a lot of this will be 64-bit stuff since while 32-bit apps run fine in 64-bit Windows , all kernel mode code must be 64-bit .
Again you might encounter this with old copy protection since that kind of stuff often like to use kernel drivers.Now as should be pretty evident , that is really rare shit .
This is n't something most people will have a problem with .
However , some businesses do , and thus MS is offering them a solution .
They are saying " If you have an old app that just wo n't work in 7 and you ca n't get it updated , just download a free XP VM from us , and run it in that .
" That 's all .
Most Windows apps run JUST FINE with no update at all .
Even those that do need to be updated , it is an update , not a complete rewrite .
The fundamental APIs are still the same .
You are n't redoing the whole thing from scratch for new architecture.So please , stop with the FUD .
Get your information correct.P.S .
Not including DVD playback is highly unsurprising because it is n't free .
MPEG-2 and CSS both require licenses to include in software .

<sentencetext>One of my friends recently bought a Samsung NC-10 with XP on it.
We upgraded it to 2 GB of RAM instead of 1 GB.
She is very happy that she can do more with it than with her old computer.
Finally we can video chat using Skype without constant crashes and troubles.
She runs OpenOffice on it, and all the Mozilla stuff with no problems.
She even plays adventure games on it, thanks to the fact that it runs XP instead of Linux.

	<htmltext><p>Let stupid people buy their crippled Windows 7 OS in peace.<br>If they lack the inclination to try an open source alternative that is easier to use, more reliable, and free, then that's their loss.</p><p>As for Windows...<br>There are just too many versions of Windows to comprehend, for the average person.<br>Why can there be a single version that you can just install the relevant desktop/server packages for, like you can with most Linux distributions?<br>Windows 7 must be reduced to a single uncrippled version, if it is to compete with other alternatives.<br>Why does it cost so much for a version of Windows that hasn't, from a user perspective, actually improved user productivity since NT4? The price of Vista was from cloud cuckoo land, and demonstrated a fierce contempt from Microsoft towards its customers.<br>I have the greatest respect for Microsoft's kernel engineers (Cutler was probably one of the best OS architects around), but NT has been polluted with a toxic layer of crap, that floats on top, like a gigantic, rancid, rotting faecal mass, in a filthy public toilet.</p><p>Why would anyone choose to use Windows? (or, for that matter, any OS that locks you in to expensive &amp; proprietary technology)<br>Vendor lock-in is the most expensive mistake for any IT purchaser. Again, and again, throughout my career, I have watched various incompetent halfwits being milked like cattle in the morning. Anything that I am responsible for purchasing, requires that the vendor be able to demonstrate a total absence of any vendor lock-in (ie. a migration path to an alternate vendor).

<tokenext>Let stupid people buy their crippled Windows 7 OS in peace.If they lack the inclination to try an open source alternative that is easier to use , more reliable , and free , then that 's their loss.As for Windows...There are just too many versions of Windows to comprehend , for the average person.Why can there be a single version that you can just install the relevant desktop/server packages for , like you can with most Linux distributions ? Windows 7 must be reduced to a single uncrippled version , if it is to compete with other alternatives.Why does it cost so much for a version of Windows that has n't , from a user perspective , actually improved user productivity since NT4 ?
The price of Vista was from cloud cuckoo land , and demonstrated a fierce contempt from Microsoft towards its customers.I have the greatest respect for Microsoft 's kernel engineers ( Cutler was probably one of the best OS architects around ) , but NT has been polluted with a toxic layer of crap , that floats on top , like a gigantic , rancid , rotting faecal mass , in a filthy public toilet.Why would anyone choose to use Windows ?
( or , for that matter , any OS that locks you in to expensive &amp; proprietary technology ) Vendor lock-in is the most expensive mistake for any IT purchaser .
Again , and again , throughout my career , I have watched various incompetent halfwits being milked like cattle in the morning .
Anything that I am responsible for purchasing , requires that the vendor be able to demonstrate a total absence of any vendor lock-in ( ie .
a migration path to an alternate vendor ) .
