freitasm: Probably not, because Windows XP Home and Pro had different media and distribution... Windows Vista introduced a single media for all version, but no upgrades.
Ragnor: Just install Windows 7 RC, then buy Windows 7 when the RC runs out eventually, imo...

freitasm: Windows 7 is really fast on my small HP Mini Note. The problem is that I don't think you can legally download the Windows 7 RC anymore. Otherwise it will run until June 2010 on this RC license.
hbk: Anyone know if this is possible, changing the license key for the pre-installed XP on my netbook to aXP Home/Pro key that I have (legit purchased for an old desktop) to bypass the 1GB RAM limit?

I was reading about installing W7 on my netbook earlier and found this article that mentions reduced battery life vs. XP; http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/windows-7-xp,2339-3.html
Did you notice this? Possibly because of Aero etc and GPU doing more work?
