Actually, we’re not really surprise with the findings of LaptopMag as to how well Windows 7 runs smoothly on the Eee PC 1000H. The fact that Microsoft recently demoed their upcoming OS using a netbook only goes to show the direction that Windows 7 will be going to once it is released next year. When Microsoft decided to demo Windows 7 using a netbook, it only means that the OS will be lightweight and less complex that Windows Vista. Although a bit powerful than Windows XP.

Anyway, going back to the test run done by Laptopmag using a demo copy of Windows 7 handed out during the recently concluded Microsoft PDC event, Joanna Stern has the following observations:

• it took the Eee PC 1000H 58 seconds to booth Windows 7
• Windows feels and looks like Windows Vista
• improved network manager, ideal for netbooks
• smooth video playback
• does not eat up to many system resources when running

Overall it was a pretty successful testing of the Eee PC running on Windows 7. And suffice it to say that it was just a pre-beta version. Hopefully Microsoft programmers would be able to iron out some kinks before Windows 7 is released next year. By then, we might be seeing new netbooks again, with most of them definitely offering the Windows 7 as an OS.
