Hi,
Our gorgeous NC10 come with a “Windows XP Home Edition for Ultra Low Costs PCs SP3” (dixit my recovery CD-ROM). I have a question about it.
What special features for netbook can we find on this edition of XP ? ’cause i would like to install (at least) a windows XP pro, but maybe it will be less effective than this special edition… i don’t know.
Thanks for your help 😉

[/quote1232199787]I have Windows 7 on my NC10 now, but when I used to have the XP ULCPC at the beginning, I noticed that whenever I try to apply some tweaks using REGEDIT, I find out that most tweaks I would like to do have already been implemented. These tweaks (gathered from various posts like this) are mostly to remove unnecessary services, in the belief that a lean OS (with CPU and memory unburdened with some removed tasks) will respond a little bit faster. That in my opinion is what the XP ULCPC is all about, a tweaked XP at least. I don’t know if you notice that feeling when you compare it with an XP running another unit, even on a regular desktop.
Why don’t you try the tweaked Vista, which is Windows 7.
Thanks for the answer, i will remove this installation by something cleaner.
I’m not realy excited by using a beta version of 7, especialy because it’s limited in time but… whatever… i will give it a try !

[/quote1232349199]In my opinion the beta version is better than XP/Vista, and our concern now is the limited time. I installed some patches hoping to address this issue but I guess we’ll have to wait after thirty days, sixty days,.. who knows when, if the patch really work. Well I tried to change the system date to one year in advance and the OS still worked after reboot, but really I’m not sure if the OS have another kind of time counter, you know maybe the count is physical like in a car’s kilometer reading, I guess I’ll just keep my finger crossed.
Anyway post if you have a problem, and Iots in the forum are just glad to help
While I have quite sorted out my NC10, I do have a problem with my Q1U with Windows 7. Specifically after I installed the Easy Display Manager (Vista) from Samsung. After booting there’s always this error box on the desktop “Display Manager fail Intel: CLSIDFromProgID”. Although everything works fine after I click X to close the box, I’d just like to find out if I can do something about it, at least stop it from showing after every booting. I know this is better addressed on the Q1U forum, I tought I might as well post it wherever I have the chance. Any help is appreciated.
it will probably come in the form of a update for win 7. and it will probably still work but we will be bombarded with ” special deal upgrade for beta testers £5 off retail win 7″ type mesages.
Finally, I installed Seven. And it’s great. I think i lost few battery life, but boot is very quick, and i like the new interface.
It works directly “out of the box” just to install samsung software for blue “fn” shortcut.
I had some issues with the wifi of my school, ’cause it’s using weird stuff (secureW2) but i fix it (thanks google)
So i think everybody can’t live without this Windows XP Home ULCPC Edition. !
Thanks for the advice.
