Well as the title states i popped win 7 pro on my netbook. Keep in mind this netbook just like every other netbook is not what you would call a power house... 1.6ghz atom 2gb of ram, an a slower 8gb STEC ssd.
I used vlite to strip it of some stuff, and installed via usb stick. I went into it with the same mindset as i did with vista back in the day on my main rig... oh god this is gonna be slow and broken especially on my already slow netbook. Now i tried vista out back before sp1, hated it and never looked to it again, and because of that i figured win 7 was a semi tweaked vista with a slightly different gui. Boy was i wrong.
I seriously could not believe it, right out of the box win 7 ran smoother and quicker than my super slimmed down super tweaked xp! It feels flawless now with the latest drivers and honestly even faster with the minor tweaks i have done. I simply cant believe it. Its like MS took the stability and quickness of xp, the good from vista, and wrapped it in an even quicker sleek gui.
There is no way that a gui like this should run so smooth and quick on such a low power machine yet it does... i dont know how it does... but dare i say MS actually got something right... no what am i thinking MS doesnt get stuff right... but then how does that explain my awesome experience with win 7... i dunno its a paradox.
Oh btw... using 3.5ish gb with a full fledged install, office 2003, firefox and aim, no page file!
