whose using vista no netbooks?

about to maybe.

they still sticks with XP

they pay less to Microsoft. thats why.

Netbooks which runs on Linux, still is relatively cheaper compared to the ones running on XP/Vista

But using a slower OS, may not be the trend or be disadvantageous to Netbook users/developers

If you can notice, companies making netbooks are making huge profits, due to its marketability.

Now, companies are “powering up” netbooks to compete with UMPC (12.1 inch class)

12.1 inch class UMPC are still very expensive (dual core, bigger HD,etc)

But netbooks (cheaper) are catching up

samsung NC10 has 160HD, runs on atom and upgradable ram

the gap of netbooks and UMPC is getting closer,

so the point of using WINDOWS 7, or a slower RAM for Netbooks in the future will be useless

Its like technology going backward.

it always moves forward.

why use OS which consumes less ram, if you can UPGRADE UR RAM??

LESS POWER CONSUMPTION?

thats why netbooks are changing thier batteries, from 3 cell to 6 cell

changing their lcd’s to OLED

changing thier battery type, etc.\

LASTLY,

THE IS NO POSSIBILITY, or it is imposible for manufacturers to jack up the price of netboooks, by classification, netbook should be at least not more that 600US$

500-600 is the max limit for netbooks

if it goes beyond that, it maybe considered a umpc already.

Windows 7 may eat up less memory, but performance wise, it tries to provide the same convenience and speed that Vista gives users albeit being less demanding on available resources which is what everyone is wishing Microsoft should have done in the first place. It’s not a matter of lacking RAM, because even by today’s standards, 1GB should be enough. It’s more having the an OS that shouldn’t demand more and it seems that Microsoft has finally come to their senses with Windows 7. It’s a postivie change that will not only benefit netbook users, but Windows users in general.

How does memory usage and performance of Windows 7 compare to WinXP Home or Pro? I’m interested to know because I don’t want to move to Vista after hearing so many bad things about it; I am still using WinXP Home on my HP laptop.

Vista on a netbook - yep - easy just use vLite.

Currently running Vista Ultimate on a Dell Mini 9 - 6Gb install and runs perfectly.

All too easy to bash Vista, but it can be made to work well on any system as long as you tailor it to your requirements

Correction:
Windows 7 Beta is yet to be released. However, it is a very good and nostalgic thing to know that even in the pre-beta build (probably build 6801), Windows 7 manages to catch the attention of many people, especially those disappointed by the Vista blunder, with its capability to run in a UMPC

reply to herbert:
Windows Vista is actually better than its reputation. Since the release of the first service pack (and probably with the release of the beta of the second), Vista gets better and better and “more done.” Microsoft just lost track when it released Vista, and the reason doesn’t only count the company itself. You may give Vista a try, before you tell yourself to forget about it and wait for Windows 7.

Hi. Good news.
