I'm planning to install Windows 7 on my Asus EeePC 1008HA netbook.

I heard that there were some issues with RC1, but other than that have not had much luck finding help with this specific hardware.

The closest I've found is this article for the similar 1005HA.

I can find XP drivers and have them downloaded just in case. Also (obviously) I've backed up everything on the machine.

Anyone on here got any experience with Windows 7 on an Asus EeePC 1008HA?

Anyone know whether the reported issues with RC1 have been fixed by the RTM and driver updates?
