Can I suggest
Netbooks with Win 7. Just installed it on a useless Linux netbook and it works fine and only cost me A$399 (which now is almost the same as US ;-))

Let's see . . .  CobraA1 | 10/20/09

No such thing as bloated  wolf_z | 10/20/09
In the case of Win7 the b-word fits very well. Like they say, if the shoe  DonnieBoy | 10/20/09
