I'm really needing a low cost portable device to deliver presentations on. I would really like a netbook - but I don't want to get stuck with windows xp as it is coming to an end. . .

I can wait, if I can get the netbook before November with Win 7 - so what are the plans? Anyone know?

I am not certain. I would image you'll be able to get Windows 7 on the more 'super netbooks' like the AMD Neo powered U210 or the A64 L110 powered Gateway model.

I'd say its VERY likely that you'll also see 7 on the CULV notebooks pretty quickly too.

As for the Atom N2x0 powered netbooks, I have no idea. Dell's not even offering a Windows 7 upgrade coupon for them, closest is for the Inspiron 11z.

Or order today and get a free upgrade of Windows 7 when it comes out. At least for most notebooks, dunno about netbooks.
