    I've got the N130 coming this week. It will have 2GB of ram and a 7200 RPM HD. Should I go with Xp or W7 for the OS?

    I would go for Win 7 so that the various enhancements are available, even if it has a bigger footprint. Upgrading RAM to 2GB is recommended for either.

    Give Ubuntu Netbook a go, its free and support on the N130 is good.
