Windows 7 Starter alternative

I just got a new netbook: http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/mini-notebook/NB500/NB505-N508GN

It functions and feels really well, but windows 7 starter will not do. The salesman at bestbuy tried to get me to pay $50 dollars more for an upgrade to home premium, but I figure torrenting it would be a better idea. I already have a windows 7 ultimate x86 downloaded and ready to be installed, but I was wondering if it can run on this netbook without causing it to turn into a snail. So my options are:

1)Stick with windows 7 starter.
2)Install windows 7 home premium.
3)Install windows 7 ultimate.

Ubuntu Netbook Remix.

I already have that installed, but not quite familiar with the OS yet. Plus a lot of hardware doesn't support ubuntu so I have to manually download and install drivers. I still want a decent copy of Windows.

I'd say Enterprise, but if you insist on using on of the ones you listed as an option, Home Premium.

Is Enterprise a cross between home premium and ultimate? I thought enterprise and ultimate were basically the same.

Personally, I am a big fan of ultimate, simply because of it's rdp feature, if you do need to do any remote logging into your machine (or to have the ability to manage the official "administrator" user), you might be better off with ultimate versus home premium. I've not used the enterprise version personally, so I cannot really comment on it.

Edit: a quick googling basically informs me that feature wise, enterprise and ultimate are the same, the only difference is the licensing. Enterprise uses volume licensing, ultimate is single user license.

So go ultimate if you can (and if you need the extra functionality) :P

He has a netbook.

Enterprise has most of the administrative tools you'd get from Ultimate without the silly stuff like Games and Purble Place.

I'm going to get Home Premium since I won't be able to upgrade my RAM for a few more weeks. Thanks for the help.

As nice as windows 7 is for a netbook I'd stick with dualbooting xp and ubuntu netbook version.

Dual Boot Linux Mint and XP PE and you should be set.
