Ops!  Our report about Microsoft pulling out its Windows 7 USB installer download from its site because that might have halted you from upgrading your Windows XP netbook to Windows 7.  Why is this so? Because you need to know that Windows 7 lacks three features that you've grown to love and use in your Windows XP netbook.

Those three features are - support for multiple monitors, DVD playback and the ability to change the desktop image from the Microsoft logo. This was the findings of the survey conducted by Retervo. Of those these don't include other advanced features of Windows 7 that you may never use on your netbook. Unless of course you'll opt for the $80 upgrade feature being offered by Microsoft.

But that sounds like getting shortchanged a bit right?

So, if you're keen on upgrading your netbook's Windows XP OS, the best route would be to get the best edition that it can possibly hold.
