HP will not only offer just netbooks with Windows 7 in the future, it will make available three different Windows 7 versions to choose from to suit different budgets and needs. After all, Microsoft has made sure that every single SKU of Windows 7 will be able to run on the relatively weak hardware found on netbooks, and yet they have to find a careful balance between making money and keeping prices of netbooks low enough to drive encouraging sales. HP will help them in this quest by offering three different versions of Windows 7 in their future netbooks at the very least, starting with the low cost Starter Edition to the Home Premium and Professional editions. Needless to say, settling for the other two will cost you as the end user more, making us wonder whether the higher price would make more sense in picking up a notebook instead.
