actually most of the asus eee pc 900's have a 16gb ssd and 1 gb of ram.
Windows 7 minnimum spec is 1gb processor and 1gb ram.
although i have sucsessfully installed and ran it on an old 600mhz desktop just out of interest.

I too would like to know how this is possible. I want to try this, but as other people have pointed out, this machine only has 4GB SSD. Is that right? Did the machine you did this with have more than that? Help!

For those that are wondering what the truth is and just getting annoyed by the other comments: Yes Windows 7 runs on the 900 and runs WELL. The previous users did something wrong. Windows 7 runs as fast on my Eee as XP.
BUT, you need to vLite it if you only have the stock SSD, you need 2G of RAM (most likely), and install does take a long time. After that it's smooth.

how the hell does w7 fit on the eee 900? it has only 4 g disk and one of 16 g, wich is slower, and the system requirements for windows 7 say that it needs 16 g…

Ubuntu fits a lot better on these, no matter what m$ will say…

I actually did this on windows 7 BETA download, I found it like a dog to run, not to mention how long it took to install (2+ hours).

Bootup took around a minute, programs hung when starting, and there seemed a general lag.

No way this will be usable as is, I lasted about an hour then got cheesed off with the lag.

Think I'll try android next, but by far the best experience I have foudn out of the box is mandriva with kde4.1, works smooth and all hardware supported
