And your problem is you installed Ultimate. That's full of a ton of features you'll probably never use, especially on a netbook.
Not really, the main problem would definitely be that I installed 7 (it wasn't for me to use though). Ultimate supports group policies and better RDS, both were wanted.

7 is full of a ton of features you'll never use, apart from an UI you can set up in a few minutes in XP there's no benefit of using it over XP unless you're using new hardware (which you aren't on a netbook or P4 1GB desktop).

If you can't run both Windows 7 and Firefox on a netbook with 1GB of RAM, then either you did something wrong or you need to disable Aero (probably a good idea anyway).

while i agree with everything you've said so far this aero thing is only true if you do not have a separate GPU, as that's what it runs from, (opposed to normal theme which runs off of CPU) so Aero actually speeds up your PC.

But wouldn't that be the case on a netbook?
