Win7 To Be Sold On An Usb Stick For Netbook Users?


Recommended Posts

Well, you know win7 runs happily on a netbook, but getting it onto a netbook is another thing.

Seems MS is thinking about that, but among other things, a 4G+ USB stick is much much more costly than a DVD, you think you are willing to pay for the extra bucks??

Microsoft is considering offering Windows 7 on a thumb drive to allow Netbook owners to more easily upgrade their machines, a source tells CNET News.

The move, which is still under consideration, is one of several things Microsoft has looked at to try to make it convenient to upgrade machines that don't come with a CD or DVD drives.

You can find 4Gb USB drive for $15 now. So, they could use even cheaper part (slower / no need for the USB drive to be ultrasmall size) to put Win7 on it and add $10 to the cost...

Sandisk Cruzer 4Gb for $18 at BestBuy....
