Windows 7 Service Pack 1
Windows 7 (all versions starter-ultimate, 32bit and 64bit) Service Pack 1 is out on windows update. If you have Windows 7 run windows update and download and install it. I have already installed it on all my computers and it works fine. If it says "failed" just reboot and run windows update again.
Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is a cumulative update that contains a long list of updates, new features and security/stability patches all in one update.

ASUS Eee PC 1015PN-PU17
I just recently put an order in for a new netbook, not that anything is wrong with the one I have (its fast and has windows 7 pro) but the ASUS Eee 1015PN series has a dual core atom processor(unlike my current single core atom) so it can run windows 7 or Vista 64bit editions. The netbook comes with 1GB of DDR3 RAM so I went ahead and bought a 2GB stick of DDR3 SODIMM from crucial.com which was only $25 dollars and both the crucial.com ram and the laptop had free shipping.
But the main reason I bought the netbook is because it has an nvidia ION 2 graphics chip although not top-end by any means but for a netbook it is. It also has nvidia optimus technology. They claim you can play WoW even though I do not play that game. It does have decent but not top end graphics. For a netbook however this is break through.
Product Highlights
- 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550
- 1GB RAM
- 250GB 5400rpm Hard Drive
- nVIDIA ION 2 Graphics
- 10.1" LED Backlit Widescreen Display
- Integrated Camera and Microphone
- Bluetooth 3.0+HS, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
- Windows 7 Starter (32-bit)
- 6-Cell Battery (9.5 Hours)
- 2.8 lb

Mirror's Edge 2 Canned !?!?!
This is a shame. I hope someone picks it up. Dare I say Mirror's Edge was one of my favorite games. Very unique platform first person melee and some weapon combat (mostly puzzle jumper) and you played as a hot asian chick and the graphics where stylized and very good.

Duke Nukem Forever PSP in limbo?
