I justed installed 7 Ultimate on my netbook to test it out, and wow, it was by far the best experience I have ever had installing an operating system. they have refined the process from every step, and made some very good changes. My netbook is the Dell Mini 9, and without me having to do anything, it found drivers for every piece of hardware i had, including the wifi card, sound, and the webcam. It just plain worked. It feels snappier than the XP that I had previous, which I attribute to 7's better optimization for SSDs. This netbook only has 2gb of ram, but it seems plenty for what I need it for.

I'm gonna back up my main drive this weekend (image it) and try the "upgrade" from vista ultimate x64 to 7 ultimate x64 and see how that goes. I'm very anxious to the improvements to video card rendering, with 2 cards installed.
