Thread: Best windows version/release for Aspire One AO751h

Hi there !

I need to format and install a fresh copy of Windows on the Aspire One AO751h and i´m trying to find the best Windows version or release.

The Netbook came with Vista Starter and i just got rid of it and installed Windows 7 Ultimate, but since it´s my son in law netbook, it doesn´t have to be all that fancy because he don´t use all the Seven´s Ultimate tools, it´s just plain msn, internet and browser.

These two releases got my attention:

Windows XP Pro Performance Edition Dec 2009 [MultiLingual]
Windows.Tiny.XP.Rev10-eXPerience

Any ideas ?

Thanks !

Windows 7 Starter is what new netbooks usually come with. Other than that, Chrome OS and Ubuntu are fun to use and fairly lightweight :D

Microxp is very very fast,but be careful because a lot of services are shut down and you may need someone Windows Micro XP v0.82 Service Pack 3 eXPerience » Free Software and Shareware Downloads WorldforFREE.net - Software Free Download, Free Software, Software Download, Freeware Download, Shareware Downloads | microxp experience | microxp | what is micr

Linux has a lot more security,and maybe is even faster ,but you need to know how it works very well if you want a fast o.s. (install it by commandline,e.g. archilinux-gentoo,recompile the kernel and patch it with ck patchset,use a quickboot init system,install a lightweight desktop enviroment as lxde and so on).
However you can use also something easier to install like dsl http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ and http://www.puppylinux.org/

Thanks guys, but Linux is not an option because i know nothing about it and neither my son in law.

I think i will stick with XP for now since as i said he doesn´t need any fancy stuff.

First i´ll try those versions i mentioned like TinyXP or XP Pro Performance.

I still want to keep this thread alive though, maybe i change my mind or be useful to other people.
