I'm very surprised to see the lack of people using slimmed down versions of windows. XP, Vista, and 7 can all be trimmed down nicely using programs such a vLite to remove features that would be completely unnecessary on a net book (IE: Windows media center). My win 7 installation was under 3 gigs when I first started and is faster than XP. |

I have noticed through a significant amount of threads issues where an individual buys a DELL Mini and there are no recovery disks...the answer is "there is a recovery partition". Wrong answer! In this day and age the need for ever increasing disk capacity is there. Whenever you buy a laptop/system the base drive ultimately will never be enough. So , what do you do when you replace the existing hard drive for increased capacity or repair? I have a 13" XPS, 15" Inspirion, and just bought 2 DELL Mini 1012s..all no recovery disks. In each case I called DELL support and demanded the physical disks for my units. I paid for them! And, in every case DELL was gracious enough to send me OS and Utility/App disks right away. DELL service rocks!! |

I primarily like XP pro on the minis as it seems to run a bit smoother. I've decided to run Win7 Pro on this new 1012 to see how it works out on the new platform. So far, so good... but I havent compared this platform with XP pro yet. --1018 | red | N455 | 160 gb | 1 gb | camera | 7 pro 32bit --910 | black | N270 | ST 32gb | 2 gb | 1.3 camera | BT | US-Intl KB | 7pro 32bit |

I've decided to not even install xp pro. 7 pro works very well. --1018 | red | N455 | 160 gb | 1 gb | camera | 7 pro 32bit --910 | black | N270 | ST 32gb | 2 gb | 1.3 camera | BT | US-Intl KB | 7pro 32bit | |
