Study claims netbook users dissatisfied with Windows 7. Are you? | |

Another day, another Windows 7 study. The latest comes from Retrevo, a consumer electronics shopping site, which asserts that users aren’t keen on Windows 7 netbooks running Starter Edition. In a blog post entitled “Is Microsoft Trying to Kill the Netbook Market?” Retrevo officials outline their findings, based on responses from 1,100 of its “users.” Among the claims are users aren’t aware of the limitations of Windows 7 Starter Edition (like no desktop personalization, no multimonitor support, no DVD playback). Retrevo said 54% of respondents would not be satisfied if their new Netbook only came with Windows 7 Starter Edition. XP Starter was a better choice, Retrovo’s respondents said. | ||

only 231 of the alleged "users" actually own a netbook, of of those it is not known how many are XP Home netbook users.
The way the survey questions were crafted were clearly designed to garner negative feedback. |

Well questions that shove people to see what is 'missing' in one edition does lead people to have a negative viewpoint.
If they asked, would you be willing to give up A,B,C for D,E,F,G would you be happy, it would seriously affect the results. Also the questions are very misleading, as they ask if people know they are losing DVD support, when #1) XP didn't have DVD support and #2) Netbooks don't have optical drives. This is just total FUD and borderline crazy or pure stupidity. |
