I have Win7 running on a HP Mini 1000 netbook, Atom 1.6 ghz cpu, 2gb RAM (although it ran just fine in 1GB), 16gb SSD (not a real screamer on the 4k random write, but I have a 32gb RunCore Pro on order)
I was surprised to find that it actually runs great. Very fast, light on memory usage. Aero even works, and it's a real basic Intel 945 chipset (GMA 950) As for in the enterprise however, well, the RC is the Ultimate variant, so it should connect to a domain, but I haven't. I set it on the same workgroup name as the domain and setup my local account the same as my domain login, so I can browse the network without alternate creds. The WiFi signal strength is very good. Build construction solid. Battery life sucks. Phillip Partipilo Parametric Solutions Inc.

We're a school district, and are just now looking at them. But the ones I'm seeing all come with Windows XP Home Edition, which presents manageability problems for us. Are we better off just waiting for Windows 7? My understanding is that all flavors of it will run on netbooks.
