We've all heard many of the terms that companies use for limited capability software like: time-bomb, crap-ware and nag-ware. MSFT has created a new class, Cripple-ware. Win7 Starter was the first version we encountered, then we saw the last (probably) version of Works (RIP) and now we've run into the next version of Cripple-ware, Office Starter 2010.
MSFT has decided that rather than provide useful versions of their products for a reasonable price they will tease and tempt buyers into spending money for their far more expensive products. The MSFT Starter products are all garbage, and were designed that way. Reduced work area and forced MSFT ads are irritating beyond belief. The purpose of the starter version is to force the user to BUY a more expensive product.
This is yet another example of why we seldom recommend MSFT products,
