The wireless drivers updating through windows update was pretty much the best thing any windows OS has done ever. I know this is beta but its more stable and faster than XP... My only complaint is that xp doesnt "upgrade" to 7, only Vista. I was dual booting xp and ubuntu, but now Im running xp and win7 and I gotta say its awesome so far.

Allan, my MSI Wind has the 6-cell battery. The Wind definitely supports more than 64MB of video memory. In Win7 right now, it shows 64MB of dedicated video memory and 192MB of shared system memory for video. I will put Windows 7 on my Samsung Q1UP once I get back from business travel.

How big is your battery? Is it a 6-cell? And how much video memory is being reported? I seem to recall having seen somewhere that Windows 7 would allow the user to more easily adjust how much video memory should be allocated... I would like to be able to bump my Wind U100 up from 64 MB to 128 MB, because certain programs have problems with less than 128 MB (pictomio for instance). Kevin, thanks for trying this out.

Should I install the Windows 7 on that, for simplicity? Would I need a supervisor program to tell the computer which operating system to load up? Is there a link to instructions on how to set this up, or is this too complicated for an "regular" computer user to try? Thanks BrandonLive,

However, you will not be able to do a direct *upgrade* - you will have to do a clean install. You can do this on another partition, or you can do it on top of your XP install (which will wipe out your XP install. It should keep your data around, but you'll need to reinstall your applications). Hi Mike -
