Windows 7 is like Vista a hardware hog. Don't upgrade unless you have some recent hardware.

So windows 7 is a bad idea on an atom powered netbook?
Most things i've read say it's the OS for netbooks in the future.

I'm just going by what I have read.

If I ever decide to buy a netbook i'd probably put the Ubuntu based netbook distro on it myself as i've gotten to the point where I only use windows to play WOW & lately i've been experianceing decent stability playing WOW on linux. I just need to tweak my hardware & drivers a little before I roll the install as a custom Image for re-install purposes.
