Microsoft word STARTER edition

[MilksAreUs]

Recently, I bought a PC from my local PC Shop (8gb, AMD 6 core processor etc) and without consulting him, I had only just realised it came with Microsoft Word Started Edition.

Can someone tell me the difference between MS Word Starter Edition and MS Word 2007 (or any version).

Thanks

A stripped down free version of Office, only includes Word and Excel I believe..
