Windows 7 Home Basic is a Windows 7 edition that is not available worldwide. It has been specifically created by Microsoft to be sold in emerging markets. Its feature set is superior to the Windows 7 Starter edition. The features that it comes with are the following:

• Concurrent Applications Unlimited
• 32-bit and 64-bit mode support
• Home Group Join Only
• Windows Internet Explorer 8
• Windows Media Player 12
• Desktop Window Manager
• Windows Mobility Center
• Windows Aero Partial

The most apparent differences are that it does not come with the concurrent application limit. Other advantages are 64-bit support and the inclusion of the Desktop Window Manager, Windows Mobility Center and partial support for Windows Aero.
