Microsoft will release a new downloadable version of its just-released Windows 7 operating system for the netbook users. While downloads of Windows 7 were expected to arrive, the netbook-oriented versions are unique as the OS can be downloaded in a form that will boot from a USB drive instead of requiring a DVD. The downloadable OS is only available through the Microsoft Store.
Despite the association with netbooks, the version Microsoft is offering to download isn’t the Starter edition that will be preloaded on some netbooks directly from manufacturers but instead includes the Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate editions found elsewhere. Prices for these versions aren’t changed from regular copies.
