With good reason! I replaced xp on my Aspire One and lovin it, now readyboost helps give me the working space I need to run mem heavy apps without the hangups of slow pagefile usage. Just wish I had an update to give me the 1024 x 768 screen res, I have to scroll alot.. but I did with xp too, anyway.

I don't know how it did it but when I nuked by laptop and replaced Vista with 7 the battery got a lot better. It gets an hour more battery life and that was the only change.
The only question after that is what the hell is Vista doing?
