Windows 7 RC Build 7100 on Acer Aspire One AOA-150
Wow.
Thats the feeling I got from putting my usb pen drive into my laptop and choosing to boot from that.
I knew the install process on my desktop so I knew what expect however it just blew me away at how quickly this system installed-from start to finish- 18 Minutes on my Acer Aspire One netbook.
Once installed I went through the first stage setup, I had my ethernet cable plugged in and drivers downloaded ready to install, suddenly I notice my resolution being correct. And it then asks me to choose my wireless network and enter the password (no complex security questions) and there you go connected. It then detected my homegroup, told me to input the password (at this point i set it up on my desktop on win7) and it worked straight off.
Then my desktop loaded with full aero effects, quick as if not quicker than the previous XP installation, im quite frankly astounded even when it played the logon chime i almost fell off my chair when i realised every driver had automatically been installed.
Upon checking i would have guessed my resources would be low, it sat idle at 500mb usage on ram, cpu 1-3% usage. Absolutly astounded.
I bow down to Microsoft, they really have come up with an awsome operating system.
Overall i love windows 7, had it on my desktop for almost a week now, it is epic.
Just thought i'd give my input on how it goes on an Acer Aspire One.
(Please note, my acer one comes with a 120Gb HDD, Atom 230 and 1Gb of DDR2 memory)
Thanks,
