Just installed this on my Dell Mini9 that had been running XP Home and was almost all out of HDD space. So far its brilliant. No additional drivers were needed, though I haven't tried the mic yet. Everything else works "out of the box". With everything installed I still have 4Gb of HDD space free. Under XP Home and a few small apps, Skype, Google Chrome, Winamp, Open Office and Firefox...I had less than 500Mb left and the machine kept freezing.
The desktop looks a little cluttered with all the app shortcuts on there, but it all works very well. The machine feels MUCH faster than it did with XP. At the moment I can't see a reason to go back to XP.
