8 gigs install is still a lot tho. I got XP and half a dozen games installed and am using around that much...

Nice link and article.

Im looking forward to having windows 7 in the mini. XP is outdated and vista isn't optimized for us. Go Microsoft .

Looks like they are finally starting to realize the strength of windows is that it can run on everything from very small netbooks to very large workstations. Being able to control more aspects of the system only makes it better to play with.

Good news! Hopefully they launch it for christmas next year...


I think I will start working with a beta for now.

Thanks for the link, a good read.

I'm definitely looking forward to Windows 7 on the Mini 9 to see how well it can run, but I am still cautious about how the OS will affect the performance.

Lol.. i read this in that article:

On the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, which has a 14GB SSD, installing Windows 7 without turning off extra components took almost 8GB of disk space, as Braginski predicts—leaving nearly 6GB of free disk space and 45 percent of the system’s 2GB RAM still available (and giving a Performance Score of 2.3).
