So i bought my Aspire One (1gb ram, 120gb HDD version) the other day. last night i installed TinyVista Rev02 (its a cut-down copy of Vista, and it seems to run faster than a full copy of XP). its 2.44gb installed, and the install is unattended (set it and forget it). it includes SP1, Aero theme, IE7, WMP11, and some drivers. it runs really well, id say better than Acer's included copy of XP (which i wasnt thrilled with, too much trash included). booting up from Hibernation is FAST. seriously, you press the power button, and its 2-3 seconds before your at an idle desktop. the only thing ive ran on it so far is World of Warcraft (which actually gets more FPS than when it ran on the Aspire's XP copy), and Project64 (N64 emulator) with Goldeneye, which runs great. i did the install using a USB Thumbdrive (prepped the USB thumbdrive using this tutorial [URL]http://www.otgnet.com/Content/Default.aspx?Cat=all,Title=3764[/URL] scroll down to step 2 and 3). the install took 15 minutes or so. the only thing you should be advised on, is that to get it to boot from a USB, you need to change the Boot Order in the bios, put USB-HDD first in the list. the only problem is that, the 2nd step of the Vista install is to reboot the computer. when the install does its FIRST REBOOT, REMOVE THE USB DRIVE. if you dont, when the computer reboots, the install will start all over again. after this first reboot, the USB drive is no longer needed. after installing, i needed to install the Lan, VGA, and Wifi drivers. however the Wifi drivers didnt seem to take, so i went to Device Manager, right click on "Ethernet Controller" (this is what Vista called the Wifi adapter, lol) and choose Update Driver Software. from there click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software", and set the directory to the "Drivers" folder inside the Un-Zipped directory you got from downloading the driver (which is called WLAN_Atheros_v7.6.0.224, by the way) if any has any questions, id be happy to answer. i might even put up a Youtube video, if i find time to clean my desk area (its messy, covered in Pocky wrappers, and computer parts)
