Windows 7 Starter

gettysburgfreak · 12-06-2009, 06:26 PM

I have looked at the netbook threads but didn't really find the answers I want. I am getting a netbook for Christmas from my parents and have it narrowed down to the Asus, HP, or Toshiba Mini NB205. All three come with Windows 7 starter and I have heard a bunch of negative reviews on this op system. Would it be better to get XP or 7? With 7 starter can I play DVD's if I have an external CD drive? Anyone upgrade their netbook to 7 professional? Thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
