Android in my eyes has always been a mobile phone platform, now I admit mobile phones, smart phones, smart books, its all blurring a bit so my definition of what should be running Android – a device which can be used for making phone calls, has a small screen making full aplications difficult to use, processor and memory (RAM) is limited. Something along those sort of lines. Or devices that don’t necessarily require a full blown OS, something more light weight.

I read an artical a short while ago about Microsofts plans for Windows 7 and notebooks, it explained how they intend to give a version of the operating system that can run a certain number of applications at one time and if more is required they could upgrade. My initial thought of this was it wouldn’t happen, Microsoft would realise it’s a bad idea and not move forward with it.

However another article cropped up and apparently it’s called Windows 7 Starter, which will only be able to run 3 applications and have some of the limited features of Windows 7. Now I don’t have a problems with the concept of a cut down version of Windows 7, it makes perfect sense because lets face any weight we can cut out of the Windows OS would be a great idea to save resources on the netbook.
