Ok, just decided to install RC1 from Microsoft’s website - you can download Windows 7 RC1 (32bit) and get a free demo licence key for the Ultimate version.
Installed it straight onto the SSD - now mind, the one I’m using has 32GB of storage, and 2gb of ram - but with the XP install, the video would crash every time I unplugged the sucker, and couldn’t find a solution. (Eeebuntu worked fine, but this person wants Windows...)
It works great. A couple minor tweaks, but even with Aero installed, it’s more responsive than with Windows XP installed. Give a thumbs up to Windows finally on a netbook (though it’s still a hugely bloated OS, I’ll still recommend Eeebuntu to those who want to get a $150 netbook.)
