Holy shit! I hope you are kidding with that.

Except for that part where my damn fingers don't fit the damn keyboard I LIKE the idea of a netbook. The fact that you cannot seem to move beyond 1 gig of ram makes the system seem painfully inadequate from the get-go.
Anyway, thanks for the review BOB SAGET, I'm thinking maybe netbook technology just isn't quite advanced enough yet for my needs. Even w/ Windows 7.

But I had to manually remove the MS codecs!
also, With media player classic, it'll play HD (1080!) without skipping at 1.6ghz

I've got one asus ACPI error message on startup, but that was my fault and it's not enough of a bother to change the driver back to the MS version (which it had originally)

Why would you pay for an UPGRADE as a new OS rather than taking this as an SP update for Vista.
They have juck cleaned up their massy data links and craps from vista which they should have done long back.
Do a "Show hidden files, folders and drives" for both vista and win7 for main drive and you will see the difference.
What is the selling point for W7 ? new colored look ??

I just waited until they got "Vista" right, I'm using it right now in fact, and it is b-e-a-utiful.

With the Windows 7 Beta i've almost lost the potty mouth, with now only the occasional "For fuck's sakes..."

I haven't even noticed any speed drops between 7 and XP, and I'm dual booting.
I'm totally sold on it.

I have Windows 7 Beta installed on my HP Mini 1000 and it runs smooth as silk, with all the above mentioned features working perfectly. I even start a video (children of men - good movie!) and had it running in the background with other two other applications running, and was able to mouse over the media player icon on the taskbar and see the video playing in that tiny preview window. Everything works great. Is there some other Aero feature I don't know about that I should test?
BTW the HP Mini 1000 has the integrated graphics chip same as all the other Atom based netbooks AFAIK. I do have 2 GB of RAM installed though.
