i thought most netbooks will not be able to support windows 7
not literally but the process of uninstalling XP/Vista and installing windows 7 is appprently extremely gruesome and not worth it? Howd u ...
nah the process is quite simple...just pop windows 7 cd in cd drive and let it do the work no hassle...the only thing that i can see causing hickup's is the upgrade path that microsoft has defined for windows 7,
win xp -> win 7 requires the full version cd, upgrade cd will not work
vista -> win 7 any windows 7 cd will work (upgrade or full version)
if anybody wants to get more power and can shell out a few more bucks i'd suggest looking at the dell outlet for a E4300 you can get a decent speced one for 700 and it will run most games without too much of a hickup

and if your patient there are even times when you can get 20% coupon off the outlet store and walk away with with a decent small laptop for under 500 bucks.
