Windows 7 for Netbooks

Deleted, at user's request.
If you bought your netbook before the release of Windows 7 you may feel the urge to upgrade. Providing it has the speed and RAM it can be worth the effort but the big problem for most users is that netbooks tend not to have CD/DVD drives, and W7 is only available on DVD. Of course you could always plug in an external USB drive but here’s a much simpler method, copy W7 to a memory stick. How you might ask? Well, until now it has been quite tricky but Microsoft’s little known Open Source division has come up with a solution, called the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool Download Here. It lets you make a bootable ISO copy of your Win 7 installation disc on a USB stick, so all you have to do is pop it into the netbook and follow the prompts to install the new OS. XP users note that you have to download and install a couple of NET Framework files first which can be found in the link that i posted.
