Matthew Miller Contributor Matthew Miller has been writing news, reviews, and opinion pieces since I did get my copy of win7 rc and hope to install it in a few days. Hopefully some of those bug will be gone. It installs fine in a 8GB partition inc. Through the magic of hardlinks, explorer will think that you have about 10GB of files though…. Ive been running windows 7 on my msi wind u netbook since last year.
I loved seeing how the operating system improved over this time. The only little problem i have with it right now is that it only has wddm 1. And the screen wont turn off to save power which kills that battery a bit : But other then that it is much better then what comes installed on netbooks in the first place.
After following the instructions for using vLite on a win7 image, putting the rc build on my eee h, then deleting a lot of junk from system32 after a little takeown. My experience with it on my laptop has been pretty good, battery life seems about the same as the Asus rolled XP install they sent with it. I have Win7 on my eeePC he right now and it runs fine. Easily as responsive as the stock XP install. Here is the killer though… it boots twice as fast as Ubuntu 9. No Linux hate here, just stating an observation.
After a bit of an issue with the wireless driver and touch pad driver, it has worked great! It previously had XP Home Premium and worked OK, but now it starts up quicker, shuts down quicker, attaches to hot spots quicker, changes networks better than Vista crap networking. When this is released, I will buy it for sure. I would recommend it for the netbook range.

Once the Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade program is activated, consumers can purchase Windows 7 certified MSI notebook computers and then pay a small processing fee to receive a Windows 7 upgrade voucher. Once done, they can upgrade to Windows 7 without any further purchases. This will upgrade their original Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate operating systems to the latest Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate operating systems without any hassle.
Once the upgrade is complete, they will be ready to experience the power and allure of the all-new Windows 7 right away! To ensure that all your drivers are installed, you can use the "Device Manager" of Windows.
To open it, just type "Device Manager" in the search box of the start menu of Windows 7. If yellow icons like the picture below is displayed is that all the drivers are not installed. Note : It is possible that the manager does not warn you of a non-installed device. This can happen with the card reader or other devices that are not essential to the proper operation of your computer.
Once you have installed all your drivers, recheck in the device manager if no yellow icon is present and if the graphics card is not named "Standard VGA". If the graphics card is called "standard VGA" is that it is a generic Microsoft driver and not a third party driver such as Intel, Nvidia, And here you are with a brand new MSI laptop running Windows 7 64 bit then it was not at the base.
