How To Install Windows 7 On Almost Any Netbook

Gizmodo has a prepared a nifty guide for installing Windows 7 on netbooks. The beta version is currently free and performs a lot better than either Windows XP or Vista, especially on low-end models. Unfortunately, the installation is not quite as easy. To begin with, most netbooks don't have optical drives. Secondly, a lot have limited storage space such as =Dell Mini 9 and Acer Aspire One, both of which have models with only 8GB SSDs. Gizmodo's guide provides the steps to solve the problems.

By the way, not all netbooks can accommodate Windows 7. At the very least, your netbook has to have 1GB RAM and 8GB storage space. You will also need a 4GB or bigger USB drive, a Windows 7 RC Image, another computer to prep the flash drive and lots of time.
