Netbooking with W7SE: No Connectify!

I installed the Beta version of Connectify to turn my Windows 7 Starter Edition netbook into a wifi router for my Sierra Wireless card but I couldn't get it to turn on. I discovered that I needed to turn on internet connection sharing in my control panel, but I couldn't find the option to do that. Then, I found this in the help:

Internet Connection Sharing. A computer running Windows 7 Starter can't use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to share its Internet connection with other computers on the network. With Windows 7 Starter, you must use a router to share an Internet connection among several computers. For more information, see Setting up a home network.

Microsoft is just taunting me for that $80 anytime upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. Grrr!
