    Greetings - I still regret selling my old EPC last year and would like to get another one. But, the new Pine Trail EPC's are pretty much offered only with Win 7. Does anyone know if the Win 7 Starter EPC's come with a restore DVD - or do they come with a restore partition? If they come with just a restore partition, I would like to know if you can create restore DVD's from that partition. And any comments about how Win 7 runs would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance...

    Note that you won't be able to recover from the restore DVD on a different machine (and it's also not legal).

    Not sure about netbooks, but ASUS laptops come with both recovery partition AND optical media.
