"A Billion Options" indeed --NOT.

It's here: Windows 7 in all its glory. MicroSquish touts it as having "A billion options...", just check out the front page of their web-site. Too bad one of those "billion options" was not being able to change one's desktop background/wallpaper in the "Starter Edition", which ships OEM on many new "net-books" now-days. Here's MS's lame explanation (if one can even call it an explanation). Of course, they made sure to include very-conspicuous links for an "anytime upgrade" to a more expen$ive ver. that'll allow such. One of the first things that 99% of computer users (yes, even "net-book" users) do is change their wallpaper to personalize their machine after buying a new one &/or installing a new OS..... you know, the P in "PC". Even Windows 3.1 allowed such as that. It's ironic to note that the net-books with the locked-wallpaper-Windows7Starter are themselves available in almost every color of the rainbow --including some of the most HIDEOUS Pepto-Bismol-pink shades I've ever seen.
