Lightweight Windows 7 pre-Beta on Eee PC 1000H looks very promising
Engadget —
... Sure, Windows 7 will run just fine on a thick slab of screaming desktop, but what everyone's really wondering is how it'll perform on laptops, or better yet, down-market netbooks. The very same stage that put Linux into the grubby hands of the Wal-mart consumer and forced Microsoft to extend the life of XP just to stay in the game. It's all pre-beta stuff for now mind you, but Laptop loaded up its early Windows 7 build onto an Eee PC 1000H (10-inch, 1.6GHz Atom, 1GB RAM) with decent results. For the most part, it ran "pretty well" with Laptop managing to ...
Probando Windows 7 en un Eee 1000H
Gizmología —
... problemas con vídeo en 720p, pero no estoy seguro de que esto sea culpa de Windows 7, si no del procesador gráfico integrado de Intel.
Lo que prueba es que por ahora, teniendo en cuenta que es una “pre-beta”, el sistema operativo “funciona”. El problema es que con Windows Vista también “funciona”, ¿se necesita algo más ligero para poder sacarle todo el potencial o nos quedamos con que pueda ejecutar las aplicaciones básicas?

SlashGear —
... One of the more topical claims from Microsoft during the PDC was that Windows 7 would have no problems running on lower-spec hardware such as netbooks. Of course, there’s nothing like a challenge to get geeks motivated, so we’re starting to see the first installs of the upcoming OS on today’s budget ultraportable hardware.

Windows 7 on a netbook: Eee PC 1000H
Liliputing —
As expected, Windows 7 seems to run fairly well on a netbook. Sure, we’ve already seen the boot screen on an MSI Wind. But Laptop Magazine’s Joanna Stern took a pre-beta build of the next generation Windows operating system and slapped it on an Eee PC 1000H and spent a whole day playing with it. And nothing exploded. So that’s good.
Here are hte highligths:
Bootup tok 58 seconds, which is about 20 seconds longer than it takes to boot Windows XP on an Eee PC 1000H. But it’s not horrible. ...
Windows 7 on a netbook: looks good so far
jkOnTheRun —
... Like LAPTOP Magazine, I like what I see so far. The new Network Manager is indeed a more simplified and improved method of managing connectivity. On the Wind with 1GB of RAM (I removed the extra gig for now) I'm getting the same Windows Experience Index that LAPTOP sees on their Asus Eee PC 1000H: a 2.3, which is the lowest score and is for the Aero graphics. Ironically, Windows Update found a newer driver for the Intel graphics and after installing that just now, the same score dropped to 2.0. Hey, it's a test build... ...
Netbooks Run Windows 7
dailywireless.org —
Laptop Magazine tested Windows 7 Ultimate (Pre-Beta) on an ASUS Eee PC 1000H. And just as Microsoft said: it works.
The Eee PC running a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor and 1GB of RAM handles the new operating system pretty well, just as it ran Vista pretty well when we loaded Vista Basic on it a few months ago. We still had a problem getting a few of the Eee PC drivers to work with the system, but for the most part we were able to get all of the features to work using the XP drivers provided by ASUS. ...
Wow, Windows 7 runs really well on an Eee PC 1000H

... regarding the prospects of Windows 7. One reason why, I believe, is its improved ability to run on netbooks. (Vista is sorta unruly on netbooks, as you might imagine.) Laptop mag did the heavy lifting and installed the Windows 7 beta (which is easy to find on the usual BitTorrent sites, by the way) on the Asus Eee PC 1000H. ...
I can haz Windows 7 Netbook?

... got hold of the pre-beta Windows 7 build and installed it on an Asus Eee PC 1000H. The specs of this netbook were a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor with 1GB of RAM. Not one I would want to touch with a Windows Vista DVD. But according to Laptop Mag, it run pretty smoothly, booting in about 58 seconds, where as XP took a minute to boot on the same netbook. And without any application running, Windows 7 used 485 MB of RAM! The only issues were some choppy video playback and skype video calling. But that’s to be expected from a beta. The netbook had a rating of 2.3, but then I’m not ...

Windows 7 Pre-Beta on the Mini-Note
HP Mini Guide —
So far this week we’ve seen an eeePC 1000h and an MSI Wind running Windows 7 Ultimate pre-beta with good results, so lets see how a Mini-Note Handles it.
It took about 25 minutes to install everything and get to the desktop and I think it took about that long for the initial Vista setup when I first got the unit. As far as drivers go, only three things were fully missing from the Device Manager - the ethernet controller, and two unknown devices. Windows Update got things straightened out and I was on my way… ...
