For the first time, we will be making Windows 7 Starter available worldwide on small notebook PCs. We are also going 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.

Windows 7 Starter does not include:

# Aero Glass, meaning you can only use the “Windows Basic” or other opaque themes. It also means you do not get Taskbar Previews or Aero Peek.
# Personalization features for changing desktop backgrounds, window colors, or sound schemes.
# The ability to switch between users without having to log off.
# Multi-monitor support.
# DVD playback.
# Windows Media Center for watching recorded TV or other media.
# Remote Media Streaming for streaming your music, videos, and recorded TV from your home computer.
# Domain support for business customers.
# XP Mode for those that want the ability to run older Windows XP programs on Windows 7


It is intended for limited computers so most of those make sense.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

 Even small notebooks have DVD capabilities.  This seems to be geared more toward Netbooks.
