I've heard that Windows 7 runs quite well on these, and netbooks in general. I'm running XP on mine as it does everything I need as a secondary machine.
I was torn between the NC10 and the ASUS EeePC 1000 series but I'm glad I went with the NC10 now as the keyboard is much better and it looks really nice, subtle things like the power button on the hinge and lights on the front add to this.
_Jimlad_ if you want any pics of certain things I'll happily provide them.

Use at the gym??? Do you work there?
Had one of these little beauties delivered this morning after dithering over whether to get one for some time and I don't regret it for a minute, it's a fabulous machine.
The only "complaint" is as others have said - the touchpad is a bit small and I'd prefer to have 2 separate mouse buttons rather than the rocker style switch on the NC10.
Keyboard is great and very easy to type on.
With 47% of the battery left (it came with some charge in it), it thinks there is another 3 1/2 hours left!

i know it sounds strange, but i have a epc from work and take it to the gym, watch lost, 24, heroes and so on with headphones on, stick on a bike or cross trainer and the mini pc just sit on the ledge, good way to burn 700kals without getting bored............however i'm aware i look like a gumbo
Yeah I found the trackpad a little small to start with, I kept triggering the scrolling accidently. If you disable the scroll feature and download the two finger scroll tool it makes it a lot better as you can use all of the trackpad.
Just ordered a black one seeing as the Dell Mini 10 pricing has gone stupid.
I've also ordered a 2GB stick (£17) as I intend to run Windows 7 and an Intel 5300 WiFi card (£15.50) as lack of 802.11n is one of the few things that lets the Samsung down vs some of the other netbooks.

Just completed a clean install of XP onto mine, but can't seem to get some of the keyboard shortcuts working again even though the Magic Keyboard application has been put back on.
Some keys work (CPU speed), but others (wireless, brightness) aren't and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to reset them up (hardly any options in the keyboard app).

Samsung Drivers installed?
Sorry if im being obtuse, but what is the benefit of having this over the OEM wifi card?
Yup - all latest drivers and Windows updates applied.
You get wireless n instead of g?
It supports 802.11n which is faster than G if you have routers/access points that support wireless N. It's not really worth it unless you specifically need the increased speed/range offered by wireless N, it's unlikely that you're going to exceed the bandwidth just by using your broadband.
