Just wanted to confirm for others that Vista works great on my lenovo s10 which is the same exact thing as the msi wind. The only upgrade i’ve done (highly recommended!!) was a swap of the 512mb to 2gb ram, so now I got 2.5gb of ram (xp only detected 1.99gb of ram). Other then that its stock, same specs as the msi wind. I’m keeping vista on here, suprisingly i feel its faster then xp so snappy and aero works great!

Try vista on your net top and you won’t want to go back to xp.. Happy i did it… thats my 2 cents.

Hi Anna,

What about a 10-foot barge pole, that might put enough distance between you a Vista to consider touching it. Otherwise Windows 7 is your salvation, I’ve run it even on the HP Mini-note 2133 and am impressed by its performance, definitely better than Vista. Shame the damn thing still gets hot, but that’s the hardware’s fault, not Vista’s or Windows 7. Damn you HP and your Via C7 fetish at the time! :-)

I installed Win XP SP2 Pro in 12 minutes – I’m not touching Vista with a pole.

@Daniel
Some folks on eeeuser.com forums report that the 1000H has better battery life with Vista.

Does it still run well if you enable the “power saving” settings? I have a eeepc 1000H and I was thinking about installing vista, but only if it doesn’t like cut the battery life in half…

i have done half-dozen machines now with XP & Vista, all of them had compatible drivers for both OS’s. although i like Vista, it was slower on everyone of them. not in terms of GUI responsiveness (like evreyone else seems to judge) but things such as media playback, editing, rendering, etc.

I used Vista with SP1 for the install.
