Star Windows 7: Sinofsky Demoed Windows 7 on a Netbook
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 28th Oct 2008 23:40 UTC
Windows I've been running Windows Vista Ultimate on my Acer Aspire One netbook (with 1.5GB of RAM, and a 30GB hard drive) for a while now, without any problems or performance issues. I have the full Aero Glass experience, and I didn't need to do any performance tweaking or fiddling with services. I even made a few very crappy videos to show it all off. Apparently, Steven Sinofsky thinks Vista - and therefore, Windows 7 - can run just fine on a netbook too, and that's why he demonstrated Windows 7 running on a netbook this morning during the Windows 7 keynote. In an interview with Ars he gave a little more details.

If you can show me a laptop with an SSD HDD in it that is CHEAPER than a good old fashiond moving parts drive, then i want you to help me pick out my next notebook because i have yet to see that option make one cheaper ;) .

I don't know...the Acer Inspire One mentioned in the article perhaps? The SSD version is quite a bit cheaper than the mechanical HDD version. Sure the SSD version has 8GB of storage as opposed to 120 or 160 GB, but it is cheaper.
