Netbook have small specs. So most of us might think - because the kernel code is same in Windows Vista and Windows 7, Windows 7 may NOT work on a netbook.

But it does. It works better than Vista. Microsoft popped up in 2008 at the developer conference that Windows 7 should run on such small systems, and they have succeeded.

Although Microsoft is not revealing that many information about its Windows 7 upgrade plans some information have come to light.

Ed Bott over at Zdnet did some virtual machine tests on how well Windows 7 runs one 512 Megabytes of RAM. He compared the results to Windows XP and Windows Vista for a broader picture with some surprising results. Windows XP used less RAM and less disk resources than the newer operating systems which is not surprising at all. Windows 7 on the other hand was able to come strong in second place while Windows Vista was clearly the system with the highest resource usage.
