annnnd its gone.

I installed Windows 7 on my Acer Aspire One today. The upgrade option fails saying you can't upgrade XP to 7. The interesting thing I found here was I went ahead and selected what I thought was going to be a clean install. To my surprise, the used space on the hard drive was nearly identical to what it was before the install. As I browsed through the drive I discovered all of my data was still there. All of my docs, music, apps, etc. were not lost during the install. None of the apps will run, but they're there. This is the fist Windows install I've seen behave this way. I wonder if there's a way to roll back to the previous install of XP since everything is still there?

I tried using the Aspire One as my daily driver but I found it slowed down my workflow. I was used to having a Outlook, Firefox, Word, Excel and maybe iTunes all running at once while I worked on a document or spreadsheet. That type of tasking brought the AAO to it's knees. The small screen, single core processor and less than full size keyboard started to lose their appeal after about an hour of working on spreadsheets. I've come to the conclusion that netbooks are great for consuming content just don't expect them to be a productivity powerhouse when it comes to creating it. I really wanted to like the AAO because of it's diminutive size and the amount of travel I do. In the end, I bought a new MacBook and haven't looked back.

Hey Cing Emp,

You better check those outdated insurance limitations again. The at&t Pearl 8120 is currently for sale on my Premier site with wi-fi not gps.
