Windows 7 Beta on Dell mini 9

The dell mini 9 specs is intel Atom 1.6ghz 1 gb ram, 8gb ssd. The install time for windows 7 was just a bit longer then on a desktop, Becuse of using usb dvd rom drive to do the install. After the first boot There is not unknown drivers, everthing was installed by the OS. Disk space on the 8 gb ssd was 2 gb left which is 3 less then Xp but still manageable. Start up speed already destroys XP and vista on a netbook and lodaing applications and browsing is is even faster. & makes use of the hardware and does it perfectly. The desktop usses the clear windows and navigating thru everthing is seamless. My impression was that it would run great but not this great! I hope Microsoft gets this pout and gives all netbook owners a upgrade option! My suqqestion is if you dont need a netbook right now wait till 7 comes out and jump on it then it will be well worth it.
