The interesting thing is that most machines with Win7 Starter are still
going for $30 more than WinXP netbooks, which would seem to indicate that
Microsoft isn't giving PC makers quite as deep a discount on Win7 as they

I waiting to install ReactOS onto my Asus EEE 701a PC. It does not support USB yet. ROS is small in size and does not require alot of resources to run.

I am waiting for eComStation 2.0 to come out. http://www.ecomstation.com I read that they might have one on a SD Card which would make it easier to install onto a netbook.

I got my first look at Windows 7 this week and my initial reaction was “so far, so good.”

“So far” being the key phrase of that statement.

New operating systems are almost always an improvement, and will almost always generate some sort of enthusiasm or buzz within the first couple months.

But until the user sits down and gets a feel for what a new OS is all about (outside the VirtualBox), you're not going to understand the product's deficiencies … or its notable improvements.

The reality being you need at least 4-6 months under your belt before you can conclude how successful an OS is for you. And that's the bottom line, how successful is this system to you and your work environment?
Here are my Top 7 reasons Windows 7 could be a success, and Top 7 reasons it could be a failure:
