I just purchased a Netbook. I am waiting for it to get delivered this week. Do you think I should wait on buying Windows 7? Will there be no benefit in doing that? I only purchased on License for Windows 7. I was about to pre-order another but I have it on hold. Considering you have a Netbook you might know a good answer. Will it run smoother on XP or Windows 7?

I have not checked into it. I know from vista that you had to install xp first and then vista to get the dual boot working, may be the same for windows 7 now. I have preordered three copies of windows 7 for all my machines, whereas I will leave my netbook on xp for now since I do not see any benefits right now on running windows 7 with a atom 1.6 processor and one gig of ram and since for on the go, I am perfectly fine with waiting to do any new installs on it. But again I am not advising against running 64 bit systems overall just poiting out some stuff that one may run into that can cause problems with some users. Have upgraded my quad processor pc from 4 to 6 gigs ram and will probably try out 64 on it. As a precaution I have collected all the 64 bit drivers for my set up already seperately if needed. Will run 32 bit on my laptop.

Then you can have both. But I wouldn't do that unless it was absolutely necessary.
