Gut feeling, Win 7 Starter Edition is a very bad idea
Once people discover the limitations after buying the device, word of mouth will not be positive. How would you feel knowing that "good deal" netbook is actually costing you $75 (or some amount) more than you thought because of the OS upgrade required.

This is a PR disaster waiting to happen.

Those netbooks will either get returned for ones with the full version of Win 7, or exchanged for a Linux version.

This is "Vista Capable" all over again. Pure marketing poison.
