You base that on fact or just impression? I've not found W7 any
slower than XP on the same hardware.
In my testing, I haven't found W7 to be significantly slower than XP
on 2GB or more. Haven't tried with less. Not a fan of
netbooks. Too slow. Spend the extra $200 and get an ultra portable.

I went out and got a netbook, it's an Asus Eee PC 1005PEB, which I've
upgraded to 2GB memory. It has an N450 in it, and, although I expected
it to be slow, it's pretty much a dog and Asus had decided that any
working area on the screen should be made as small as possible with
large menu bars, gadgets, etc. It came with Win7 Starter which brings
on the question: I have three options here: Clean up this install,
install Win7 Ultimate or install XP. I just don't know if XP will
actually be faster. What I'd like to do is be able to play video off
the hard drive, not necessarily HD. It just seems to me that the
Aspire Revo seems faster. (Yeah, I tried with wired network also).
Suggestions?
Thanks....Steve
