Windows 7 Starter Edition Will Not Have 3 Applications Limit

Now that's really interesting. Recently we blogged about the weird 3 applications limit in Windows 7 Starter Edition: Windows 7 Restricted Edition
Windows 7 Starter Edition contains 3 applications limit, i.e. you can't run more than 3 applications simultaneously. If 3 programs are already running and you try to run a new program, you get following message:

Now it seems that Microsoft is going to remove this 3 app limit from Windows 7 Starter Edition. Our friend "Paul Thurrott" shared this information:

Microsoft to remove 3 app limit from Windows 7 Starter . No word yet on whether the other lame limitation--the bizarre inability to change the desktop wallpaper--will be fixed as well. To be honest, this is a bigger issue than the 3 app limit, which sounds horrible but doesn't actually come up all that often if at all.

So Microsoft is really going in the right direction with Windows 7. Isn't it?
