It seems Microsoft is not ready to keep XP running on netbooks around the world. Information Week has a story about Steve Ballmer indicating Microsoft’s intentions to dominate the world of netbooks. Netbooks have been selling like hotcakes lately. Add to that the flat sales numbers for laptops, and you’ve got a brand new market for Microsoft to dominate.

Windows 7 has been far more impressive than Vista. Vista felt rushed and underdeveloped. It seems Microsoft is trying to get right this time around with Windows 7. I just don’t agree Vista users should pay for Windows 7 as Microsoft promised us grand things with Vista only to admit the flaws of it later.

What do you think? Can netbooks handle Windows 7? Would you upgrade?
