Windows 7 Starter three program restrictions explain

About the first level of the starter in the Windows 7 full range, the most impressive thing about everyone is the limitation of running up to three programs at the same time. Maybe everyone is thinking, after adding this restriction, who will use this disabled version of Windows 7?

Windows 7 starter version as a system dedicated to netbooks, although there are certain restrictions, but this restriction is not as simple as literally, there are many articles (obviously Microsoft will not be so stupid).

Look at some of the tests that Ed Bott did on ZDNet. He installed the Windows 7 Starter version on his netbook and used it for three weeks to find some details about the limitations of the three programs.

First of all, this restriction does not mean that only three sequence windows can be opened at the same time. Ed Bott successfully opened 16 windows, as shown below:

How did he do it? Where did you arrive? Found a crack method? In fact, he did nothing, because in the Starter version, there is no limit to the number of windows in the same program. So you can do it in the browser to open more than a dozen page tags, use PS tools to edit multiple images, or QQ, MSN and multiple people chat at the same time. In these cases, the system will assume that you have only run one program.

In addition, the following daily applications are not subject to the limitations of the three running programs.

1. The Windows Explorer window is not counted in the restricted program, you are running three different The program can still open any folder, one or more are not affected.

2. Basic system tools are not affected by this limitation. You can open the CMD command window or the task manager at any time.

3. Most of the controls in the control panel are also unrestricted, check network settings, change power management settings, install a new Bluetooth device, etc. You can do these things anytime, anywhere.

4. The installer will not trigger this limitation. Ed used IE to download and successfully installed Google Chrome while running three programs. Note: Although Microsoft also said that the installer is not restricted, this statement does not seem to be completely correct. Ed later tried to run 10 installers at the same time, and all failed.

5. The desktop sidebar program (gadget) can also be used without restrictions.

6. Some system applications are also not limited, such as the Clipboard extension ClipMate

7. Programs running as system services in anti-virus software are not subject to this limitation. You can use the right-click menu icon in the system tray to scan the system or update the virus database. The bubble reminder window works fine, but the anti-virus software main program interface will be counted as one of the three programs. It is necessary to close a running program.

In general, the Windows 7 Starter version is capable for Internet-based netbook users, but the Starter version is clearly satisfactory for standard notebooks used for mobile work or desktop replacement. Without the user's needs, the prompt to run the program to the upper limit will continue to appear.
