James Kendrick of jkOnTheRun couldn't wait for HP to release the Windows XP version of the Mini-Note so he has installed XP himself and in this video shows how fast the Via processor runs with XP. James shows how fast Microsoft Office runs along with web browsing and how fast the WinXP Explorer runs. An inadvertent shutdown also shows how fast the Mini-Note boots cold under Windows XP. Enjoy the video.
You need another computer to transfer the xp on the flash drive. No i don't think that you have to clear th HD

and just a side note if you have time and can wait till the end of the year then hp is outing a new mini-note with a better CPU and a non reflecting surface
also you can check out one of these
1--gigabyte M912
2--msi wind / or his advent counter parent
3--Eee 901/1000
those are still in the same price range and have almost identical specifications
and good luck for you 2 sir
