Strawberry question follow up

Thanks for the help about the strawberry question.  Let's get a little
more specific now.
If I plant strawberries this year, 1998, and take good care of the
runners and make new beds with the babies, when would you suggest that
the plants I planted this year would be over the hill and ready to be
replaced?

On TV, I see gardeners start seeds in tiny containers and then transplant
them to larger containers when they get bigger.  
     Why not just plant the seeds in the larger containers in the first
place?  Is this a temporary space saving thing, or does it benefit the
plants in some way?  My guess is that this is such an elementary piece of
gardening knowledge that nobody explains why, anymore.  
     Please help me.  It's really bugging me, and you know how I get when
I get bugged!
 
     Stan            The cheap and lazy gardener.
