That is surprising since such upgrades would be almost pure profit margin for Dell. However, I think the Windows Anytime Upgrade program will allow for quick and easy upgrades for those that want to go this route. Hmm, come to think of it, it may well be a provision of the license that manufacturers can't offer both Starter and an upgrade option--offsetting the lower licensing costs by funneling all potential upgrades directly to MS.
