I deleted my first review which knocked this new netbook from Acer with a 3 Star review, for failing to accept a 2gb memory upgrade - I was told by Acer’s overseas on-line warranty service this netbook couldn’t even accept more than one 1gb.
Please be aware that this comes with Windows XP, not Windows 7 Starter which has become the de facto standard for netbooks.
This may actually be appealing if you want to run XP, either because you don’t want to learn the new operating system, Win7, or because you see specific legacy advantages to XP (may run slightly faster than Win7 on the lightweight Atom processors that run most netbooks). Please note that if you don’t want to learn the new operating system, that probably isn’t the best of reasons since long-term support is probably going to be better for Win7, and Microsoft is reporting fewer virus problems with Win7 than with XP (although that may just be due to the fact that Win7 is still new).
