Using VLite I shrunk win7 (removed mediac entre, chinese, japanese and korean languages, and lots of other rubbish I'dd never use on a netbook). The remaining ISO was about 1,8gigs. Put it on a USB using the MS program and startedthe install. No pain at all!

Once running, I disabled about 70% of the services (or set to manual start), disabled hybernation to save space and disabled swapping to save speed (mighty slow SSD…) and now it's running even more smooth then XP ever did!

At the moment I'm running Firefoxbrowser, am surfing for about 2 hours now and windows is running at 32 processes (37% of memmory used). Aero enabled and ready to start Live Messenger and working with office 2007.

No prestation index available, an error occured that said my harddisk took too long for the operation (blame Intel for this slow SSD)

All my programs worked except netStumbler which said it didn't recognized my wireless card. My system works great with os7/Xp pro/ and ubuntu netbook edition.(Thanks to the grub loader) I installed os7 with no problems at all, touch pad didn’t work at first but after a couple of restarts, it was just fine.

Drivers for the touchpad can be downloaded directly from Synaptics and Acer did have some Vista capable drivers. The other nice bit is running the driver updates in compatability mode since the INF's are close but the install Wizards do an O/S check often. Aero interface works too. http://www.energizedtech.com/2009/02/getting-windows-7-beta-to-fit.html I found a clean install worked best for me.

The only minor problems are that the Asus VGA and Elan touch pad drivers won't load under Win 7 so you get error warning messages about hot keys when you boot in Win 7. Other than that it works just fine and boots quickly. I have Win 7 dual booted with XP on an 1000H EeePC.
