    It is possible and Vista will run a little sluggish compared to XP. Though due to Vista's power saving you would gain a fair chunk of battery life.

    What makes you want to go to Vista? depending on the reasoning it may be worth it.

    No prob...I have the Mini 9 and I have XP on mine...and based on the build I have & if I had a choice bet. XP or Vista ~ I would stay with XP. ;)

    I'm sure you will make the right choice for yourself! :)

    If you do this and can't get drivers, try looking for regular mini itx drivers. Seems they are the same drivers on both my Aspire One and Mini ITX pC
