    For something that's advertised to run on netbooks.... it's minimum install is 16gb.... bummer. Us SSD users are out of luck. Or is there someone out there who has successfully installed Window 7 on an AAO 110?

    The version that's availiable to public beta testing is windows 7 ultimate thus it's not meant for nettop. There's a special version called Windows 7 nettop edition

    Oh I see. In that case. I'll just have to wait for that version to come out. No use going for ultimate on the AAO.

    hey
    I installed it on the a110l. first it won't, because of less space. but then i vlited it(removed languages & help files) and now i have 3,4 gb free space(hibernation & paged file turned off). i think it is little slower than xp, but it looks very good, really good. :cool:

    @jackluo923: do you have a link to this version? i googled it, but found nothing, and I never heard about it, thank you :)

    just installed win 7 on my a150 and it works like a dream. Everything except the card readers worked on first boot (i have an apple wireless card).

    Very impressed at the moment.
