1. I tried to install windows 2000, and it gave me an error during the setup. Forget what it was about but I think it'd be safe to say it won't work. XP (and Vista for that matter) works fine.

2. I don't know about Ubuntu, but I tried installing Mandriva on it and it didn't work. Again, error during setup.

3. Just get a power inverter, much more useful

4. Yes, I would recommend it. It's awesome for internet, documents, music and videos (I watched 3:10 to Yuma on it in high def with no problems.) It can handle 2d games and basic 3d games, but nothing spectacular. What sort of games would you be playing?

5. Display is nice, although only 800x480. It does look quite nice though

6. It depends, if you think you'll need to do more intense stuff in the near future then wait, if not then I'd say go for it. They are extremely easy to take with you, which I can't say about a full sized laptop.

7. In windows XP programs install and run just fine off an SD. Can't say about linux
