Windows Windows 7 Starter Edition, a sort of My First Operating System, always carried with it a massive braindead bug feature that limited the amount of applications you could simultaniously have open at just three. Yes, past tense, because someone over in Redmond apparently looked up and smelled the roses, and suggested removing this silly limitation. And so they did, according to Paul Thurrot.

We can all thank GNU/Linux for this. It's getting to be quite a nice system on the desktop, (and the netbook) and it's even exercising positive peer pressure on Windows. MS would never have removed this limitation if there wasn't a better alternative already out there.
