Windows 7 on the 900HA - Dining Room Table Quickie

[eXDi07]

how do you know if wifi is working? i formatted mine to windows 7 ultimate. im worried that my wifi wont work again. i really need your reply asap. thanks!

@eXDi07 Try connecting to your Wi-Fi at home or on a Wi-Fi hotspot. Heck, you don't even need to connect to anything! If Windows 7 can at least see a network ID, it works!

BTW, did you actually purchase Windows 7 Ultimate for a netbook? That's overkill. At most, Windows 7 Professional should have been more than enough for business use.

@TheCanadianPublic thanks dude. atleast i have the evidence of it working. thanks a lot. means a lot. haha..

i had a copy of windows 7 for my PC and installed it to my netbook through USB. i like ultimate more than any versions. thank!

Canada Eh.

i just put a full released version of windows 7 ultimate on my eee pc 900ha and it works fine. i haven't experienced any of the problems you mentioned so i guess they beed fixed.

Did you ever get the all the drivers and everything to work properly now? How's the battery life on win 7 if you get everything working.

I plan on buying a netbook and this is a good choice, priced currently at $300 at newegg. What do you think? Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention that i will keep the xp on it though. not planning on putting win 7.

[TheCanadianPublic]

Sorry for the delay. I was busy with the Salon Son & Image videos.

I didn't check the battery life or if all the drivers were installed. But what needed to work properly did work properly.

I also install Windows 7 on an Asus RS100-X5/PI2 rackmount server, and everything is working properly. I've even edited my Salon Son & Image video on it, and was impressed with the performance.

If Microsoft doesn't screw this up before the release, I'm definitely buying Windows 7 when it comes out.

thanks for the reply.

i'm now considering buying a 1000HE and i heard really good things about it. newegg has it for less than $400 and i think it's a good choice.

[TheCanadianPublic]

I'm preparing a full review of the 1000HE. The choice between the 900HA and the 1000HE comes down to...

You'll find out next Monday. :)

windows vista service pack 1 I've found is virtually bug less i know before service pack 1 it was hopeless put now they've fixed it, it runs better than xp although its very resource hungry

also, add me on Steam. my name is Deliverance, or themailman05

[LiamusShakirus]

Ive done it too on my 904HA, works beautifully. much quicker than vista

This is pretty cool, i didn't know you could get the beta. ~.^

[TheCanadianPublic]

Google "Download Windows 7 Beta", and you'll see a link to Microsoft's Web site with the exact same title. You'll need to create a Windows Live ID to get an activation key.

If you have a spare hard drive you can use for testing purposes, it might be worth your while to give it a shot. It doesn't cost anything, and it's perfectly legal.

And if you don't like it, you can throw it away. :)
