What Windows 7 brings to the table
,----[ Quote ]
| No matter how Microsoft spins it, Windows 7 is not suitable for a netbook.
| It's lighter than Vista was in terms of its impact on system resources, but
| then, what isn't? If you want a cheap netbook with decent performance, you
| want Linux. And, if you want one after Windows 7 starts shipping, you'll want
| to check ones running Moblin or Google Chrome OS.

Windows Update owns my machine
,----[ Quote ]
| So thank you, Microsoft. Your "awesome" Windows Update process needs some
| work. Why is System Update not really done installing patches until you shut
| down? This doesn't make sense to me. It should have installed those other
| patches while the system was up, then let them take effect after reboot. I'm
| most shocked that System Update had to "own" my machine when I was trying to
| shut down.

Windows 7 netbook performance: can MS make it faster?
,----[ Quote ]
| Why is this? What has Microsoft added to the RC code to slow things down? Why
| does XP still feel so much faster than Windows 7, when earlier Windows 7
| builds screamed along on netbooks in comparison?

Microsoft looking for Moore's Law to save Windows 7
,----[ Quote ]
| The jury is in about the performance of Windows 7 RC on netbook computers -
| it's as slow as a wet week. For Microsoft the "great white hope" is now
| Moore's Law. Will new entry level netbooks be powerful enough to prevent
| Redmond's second white elephant in a row?
|
| What is becoming increasingly clear is that Windows 7 is merely an attempt at
| damage control after Microsoft's monumental misreading of the market with
| resources hungry Vista.
|
| [...]
|
| The danger for Microsoft is that the challenges are coming thick and fast
| from all sides on the Linux front. Aside from Android and Ubuntu Remix, Intel
| has released its own Linux distro desgned specifically for Atom powered
| netbooks, Moblin 2.0.
