[gui-talk] Netbook specs

[Baracco, Andrew W]

i know people who are running Windows 7 on netbooks.  Windows 7 seems to
be better optimized for netbooks than does Vista. Vista does not seem to
run well on netbooks.  HP originally put Vista on its netbooks, but
after many customer complaints, they switched to XP. I would imagine
that they will start including Windows 7 when it is actually released to
manufacturers.

I wonder if these Netbooks can be upgraded to Vista or Windows 7 when MS
stops supporting XP since the majority of these netbooks run XP.
Nothing wrong with XP but isn't MS soon to stop supporting it?
