People went all the way back to WinXP (which is underpowered these days and full of security issues) to avoid using a linux distro.

I've ran Win7 ultimate and Starter edition on my Dell Mini 9 and both run very well.

WTF is stopping somebody from installing whatever OS they want? Nothing!

You even make light of this point in your comment? So why would I want to pay extra for windows when I can put it on myself later?

WindowsXP underpowered? No just your dell bud.]]>May 12th 2009 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/android-based-alpha-680-netbook-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/android-based-alpha-680-netbook-spotted-in-the-wild/
Theoretically, you could run WinCE or Windows Mobile - but since you can't just run out and buy that (it's only sold to OEM hardware makers)...

The only thing you can run on it is Android and maybe some other Linuxes that are compiled for ARM... if they support the hardware.]]>May 12th 2009 10:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/android-based-alpha-680-netbook-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/android-based-alpha-680-netbook-spotted-in-the-wild/May 13th 2009 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/android-based-alpha-680-netbook-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/android-based-alpha-680-netbook-spotted-in-the-wild/May 13th 2009 5:48PM
