Windows 7 on the MSI Wind U100 [Netbook]
Windows 7 is faster and more reliable version of Windows. Last week, Microsoft made the beta available for download for the public. Microsoft says that they have made myriad of changes under the hood and they have been able to make the whole operating system a whole lot faster than the bulky Vista. Vista was never able to make big name in netbooks as netbooks didn’t have the horsepower to run such a heavy operating system.
Windows 7 BETA is running very well on most of the netbooks. So far, Windows XP has been the OS of choice as it performs very well on the Celeron M and the Intel Atom CPU, either of which are being used in the netbooks today. K.C Tofel at JKontherun has installed Windows 7 on his MSI Wind U100 and he is pretty much impressed with it’s performance.
Sleep without any programs open is 7.2 seconds. Resume is 3.6 seconds. The whole installation took less than 30 minutes. Here are the score of Windows Experience Index, which are pretty decent for a netbook.
- Processor = 2.2
- Memory = 4.5
- Graphics = 2.3
- Gaming Graphics = 3.0
- Primary Hard Disk = 4.9
Clearly, the Windows 7 will be more netbook friendly and the users will be happy to switch to it from the now-outdating Windows XP.

Hi there.
I installed Windows 7 on my Asus Eee PC 1000HA and it rocks. Got the same Windows Experience Index as the MSI Wind. But it is surely faster than Vista.

I am loking at getting a wind u100 its cheap at 298.00, but just wondering how you all installed windows 7 without dvdrom, I’m assuming it was done with an external dvdrom, but just wondering if anyone has attempted usb flash drive simply because I really dont want to have to purchase an external hd just to be able to install an operating system. I am currently running windows7 ultimate on msi ex630 and I love it compared to xp and vista but If anyone can tell me if usb flash will work please email me at [email protected].
Mark, it is infact possible to install Windows 7 without using a DVD drive. Go ahead and buy the netbook of your choice
