    Have it running fine on my NC10. Didn't need any external drivers, windows 7 picked up everything, though i did install easydisplay manager for the hotkeys and easy battery manager to get the samsung optimized battery profile.

    There is a bit of an issue with screen dimming on battery power in certain profiles, it's nothing too bad though. I've also had 2 updates from windows update for that just wouldn't install on teh machine, one for activex killbits and one for reliability.

    Apart from that it's going much better than i'd imagined.

    At the Win7 launch thing in DIT last week most of the demo was done on a netbook (forget which one, but it was an atom processor I recall).

    Also I've installed 32bit win7 on my dad's samsung nc10, working fine!

    I think it was a Toshiba NB205 (the one in Galway was anyway)
