I'm seeing lots of posts on 1000H working just fine, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. Seems a bit much to have to futz with diskpart, considering that that partition should already be active.

It is running really well. Much more stable than XP pro was for sure. If you want to make a bootable flash drive, this web site is really easy to follow. http://kmwoley.com/blog/?p=345 Just installed Win7 Ultimate RTM on my EEE 1000h. It is running really well.

Not bad at all. No issues with any drivers. It is able to automatically fetch any missing drivers from online search. Like those screen drag to left or right so you can compare two windows simultaneously. Used a Dual core 1.66 Ghz pro with 2GB Ram, also tried using a 4GB USB stick as Dedcated Readyboost(Honestly no difference). Liked the Home Network Interface (Homegroup), and as usual microsoft does come up with changes to a few look and feel. One difference between Vista and win 7 is that it does not hang as much as Vista does. Still my pick is for Win 2008 svr for laptop, i never shut down my laptop for over a year and zero crash. Planning to install Win 7 in my Acer Aspire D150 running Atom 1.66 (N280) ghz processor with 2GB Ram. Hope it works. Win XP is too old a OS to continue using. Vista was a failure no doubt but still a better interface. My installation comsumed around 7.8GB of disk space. Running Win 7 on my old Lenova N100 , i had win 2008 svr earlier. Not bad at all.

Get the ACPI drivers to work just fine, you have to get the from ASUS web site though. That, plus download+install the Eee InstantKey utility will get you up and running with the function keys on the keyboard and the quickstart keys at the top just fine. However, getting the Super Hybrid Engine up and running proved to be more of a problem to me. I try to run the setup, it justs states that "this OS is not supported" as it appears to think I am running Windows NT. :P Anyone who got this to work care to share som secrets? Thanks!

I must say....not bad at all. Runs well... I had one BSOD but probably because im using vista/xp drivers in 7. Other than that its running really well(remember it is a beta). As for those people that want to know how to install using a USB stick.... well u need to do a few things I will put the XP preparation of the USB stick here. the VISTA prep is widely documented.... check google for that. 1) look for the HP usb setup program to format it properly. (needs to be NTFS) 2) look for a guide to use MBRWIZ to make the partition active(a must) It does involve CMD line use...so if u dont know what im talkin about willis ask a friend who does. (this is for XP.........a bugger it......found the website http://www.bwana.org/2009/01/11/how-to-install-windows-7-beta-from-a-usb-drive-to-an-hp-mini-1000-without-vista/ I good in depth guide.... enjoy folks. Oh and Bootsect can be found in ur WINDOWS 7 cd in the BOOT directory... GOOD LUCK PEOPLES! Ok i have it installed. I must say….not bad at all.

If u like linux that much.....fair enough but keep in mind this is an article about Windows 7 not linux. Another thing.....500mb of ram isnt much. Micro$haft has a lot more devices, security and added eye candy added to this than ur usual boring AMIGA STYLE WORKBENCH that I've seen running on most linux distributions. On the other hand...if boring interfaces are your thing...stick to linux. I say its great that Micro$haft has finally got their shite together and actually thought about how to release Windows 7( i call it windows 7 of 9 :D ) They could have done what they did with previous releases that were a steaming pile of crap until the first service pack was released. Good thinking! Now to those who will flame for my comments keep in mind. I have used numerous types of OS's that are out there....and for some reason.. XP has been the one that i return to....purely because it works. I DONT nitpick over a tiny bit of ram loss(boo hoo to u go cry to ur mum after im finished with her) or whatever because it goes....its stable...and its common. If linux or OSX one day reins supreme, then they must finally be doing something right. So now im going to start this voyage of installing windows 7 of 9. I hope it runs as well as you guys say it does. I cant believe the whole OS wars are happening here……

Thing is, most people using Windows are not the kind to shout out loud how bad is the competition and how "retarded" are it's users as opposed to many Linux users. That's the only explaination on why 99% of OS users preffer to enjoy their choice and keep away from brawling while the other 1% can only post comments on how Linux is so much better than Windows. Ok, everybody gets the idea, Linux is the best OS in the world, as you say, now please, take that and spare everybody of useless postings. Keep to the subject at hand. Thank you.
