Please bear with me on this - I'm used to Mac's, but have just purchased an N150 to run a Windows only application. Well pleased with my choice of Netbook - it's great!

Everything works ok, but it runs more slowly than it did when I first got it (last weekend). I have a 4GB USB drive which I use as Readyboost, but it still seems really sluggish.

Two questions:

1. Is it worth doing a clean install of Windows 7 and if so how do I do it? (Just upgraded to Home Premium). Do I just use the Samsung Recovery software, or is there a better way?

2. Would I be better running XP instead of Windows 7? (I seem to read mixed opinions on this).

I'd be grateful for any help and advice.
