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.

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