All versions Windows 7 officially coming to netbooks

It was just announced that all versions of Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows 7, will be used by OEMs on Intel Atom powered netbook offerings. This comes to us as news after Microsoft lifted the ban they previously had on Windows 7 on such devices.

When the ban was in effect, only the Windows 7 Starter Edition was expected to be run on netbooks which had a 3-applications-running limit. Thankfully, Microsoft scrapped this idea and decided to allow manufactures, as said above, to use all of Windows 7’s versions.
