Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

  GWatPE said  ... I believe that royalties paid to MS make the difference. Possibly those who try to do it alone only get part of the OS spec. I guess you get what you pay for. Maybe MS should provide full specs, but while there is still profit to be made we won't see it.

And with this financial crisis, how many will do?
Is not a good idea to not provide the specs... you help your rivals this way.

P.S. Off topic, I think a lot of sites are moving on free hosts like Google these days... as many small business are closing... a lot of bookmarks and links to check...

@GW

Win 7 starter pack is hobbled. I doubt things like advanced ports, multi networking and reading some file types would work. I am sure if you rang MS they would tell you what does and does not work and advise you spend more money.
