@ Gnizmo - You make the equally faulty assumption that Windows 7 Starter will NOT be readily available. Lets assume for the moment that you run an electronics retailer. You care not for providing people with computers that do what they want, you simply want to make as much money as you can. If Windows 7 starter is $50 cheaper than home premium - would you not want to make your company an extra $25 per sale, whilst selling your computers for $25 cheaper than your competitors?
I also have googled this quite thoroughly, it seems odd that you would think I haven't. I assume of course that you are reading too much into this quote "According to Microsoft, you'll be able to run services (such as Windows Defender) in the background" Obviously, because the computer will not inherently know if it's a 'background' task (background being more of a human concept than a technical term) it will use some variety of White List - only programs on the White List will count as 'background services', which essentially means that MS has to approve any antivirus program that is to run on Starter as a background service.
