    i suggest not to install it because we know that Windows 7 is not yet officially released, there might be bugs. Let's just wait for their official release. :eek:

    hi, not to go against previous reply, but i posted an answer in another forum about win 7. I vlited mine and it works perfectly (build 7077)...though i've heard the full copy works well too...of course, there will be bugs as previously stated, but i haven't had any trouble with mine...(yet)....easy to install, and looks great with the aspire one screen.

    7077 and 7100 working fine for me, with the exception of the Atheros AR5007EG driver provided by Micro$oft. It can see my Netgear DG834Gv4 but won't authenticate the WPA/WPA2 encrypted connection. I used the Atheros v.7.6.1.221 driver package instead, which works beautifully.

    I have the one Gb ram, 16Gb SD variety. I install W7RC this morning and that went fine. However, once installed, it runs slower than the slowest thing on planet slow. Is there anything I can do to put some lead in it's pencil?
