The boot up time on my desktop PC is much improved, but then the processor on it is probably considerably more powerful than that on a netbook, with double the amount of RAM. There may be others on this list who have already done the upgrade you are thinking of and will be able to give you a more accurate assessment than I can.

The netbook works GREAT now with xp home and really boots up very fast. If I do upgrade,would the bootup time be increased by much?

This has a 2.4 quad processor and 4 GB RAM, it all the other stuff you would expect. It was previously running Windows XP Pro. I have updated it to Windows 7 pro, removing WE first as advised. The technical part of the upgrade went quite well. One of my family entered the product key for me, but that was the limit of sighted assistance. I used the transfer tool to take my data from the "old" PC to the "new" PC. This did a good job, maintaining the 4 profiles I have on Outlook 2007, which I was very grateful for. The only real issue was deleting the folders transferred to the new PC. This took a bit of research, but is now done. I even use a USB to serial converter for my DECtalk Access Synth. Now, a couple of issues with WE. There is a definite tendency to lose focus, needing to switch tasks to get focus back. I often find that when left and right arrowing on the system tray then speech stops after about 5 items. Task switching gives me speech back. Both of the above are tedious, not serious. There is also a tendency of memory misuse in Outlook 2007. An example of this is that after doing a spell check on a mail, I was returned to the list of e-mails, not the e-mail I was on. Task switching would not cure this one. I had to stop WE and start again. Another example was when in a list of e-mail items in the inbox and deleting some of them. They were ordinary e-mails as far as I could see. I received the beep to tell me that the e-mail had gone, but it was still in the list. I did this on several occasions but it did not help. I then began to smell a rat and did some task switching; still no help. I unloaded WE and restarted it. Yes, I had deleted a number of e-mails I needed as the display had not been updated. I was able to recover them from the deleted items folder. I have found no issues with IE so far. If I drilled a long way down into device manager then the useful bits of the screen were not displayed. Of course, as there are several ways of doing anything I simply used a different route to establish the data I needed on the USB to serial converter port. All in all, I would not say that this is an inaccessible product, but it is not as good as WE with XP. I will, however, stay with it and increase my knowledge it its operations. It is good of GW to bring this out in time for the release of the OS on the general public.
