anybody bench it on a netbook yet?
Here's an idea for test Adrian. I'd really be interested in beching 7 vs. XP on a netbook. If 7 can equal or beat XP on one of those this would really be news. Will it even install on one yet? BTW I would like to know about battery life on such a test also.

As for the currently discussed article I am glad to see that 7 has apparently made some advances over Vista.
