    actually i wanted to add BiBM to another netbook i have and i like to put WinXP on there and maybe linux mint because this one only has an Atom processor and 2 GB RAM and it struggles with Win7 even though it has an SSD. these data partitions are filled though so i guess i will have to offload and then start from scratch.

    i dont know where to buy WinXP though for reasonable price. I see them on Ebay on old HDD for abt $40-$50, which sounds about right but i dont have Ebay acct any more. and i really dont want pirate copy/steal it either.

    Some Atom processors don't support Linux. My Asus VivoTab doesn't.
