Windows7 starter

I feel a bit of a whiner griping about this, yet I can't quite let it go...If the French government are concerned insidious advertising by/for Facebook and Twitter, I feel much the same about the insidious Microsoft advertising of the Windows 7 desktop in the starter edition. It would appear that Microsoft has decided to offer a discounted version of Windows to netbook manufacturers. However, one option which is lost in the stripped down functionality is the option to personalise the desktop. But don't fret as they have thoughtfully selected one for you. One which enforces reverence to the Microsoft logo! So although Microsoft are already obscenely rich, they impose reverence to the Microsoft logo for the poor who purchase a basic computer. You can of course upgrade the Windows functionality, but at a price which would likely almost equal the cost of the Netbook! Somewhat suspicious that after having been fined for imposing internet explorer onto the masses, they have now decided to impose the Windows icon by default onto all purchasers of Netbooks. I have to say that it seems like a petulant ploy in response to the fine they received.
Could they not have simply selected a pleasant landscape image instead? I loved the green field of dreams; hate the Windows logo. I know I can't be the only one!
