Windows 7 Netbook to Come

Windows 7 NetbookGood news for you who wants to get a new netbook with a copy of Windows 7. It will come with a special version of the OS. It is a bit limited version though. But don't worry, Microsoft has decided not to limit the graphics capabilities (such as Aero) or the ability to use a touchscreen which is nice. The main thing that Microsoft is worried about is making sure that the hardware used isn’t too powerful.

Basically the netbook will have a 10.2-inch or smaller screen, no more than 250GB hard drive, or 64GB SSD and no more than 1GB RAM. The CPU can only have a single core, be clocked at no higher than 2.0Ghz and run at 15W or less. It doesn’t look like these are set in stone yet, but it does give us a good idea of what to expect.
