Ps. My vendor says duel booting slows down the system. Is it so?
Thanks everyone.
At present Win7 Ultimate is installed on my netbook. Aero disabled. It is a bit sluggish.
Since majority thinks XP will perform better, I shall go with it.

Well if you want the snappy response of a desktop I doubt you would ever get that with a Netbook. Win7 is highly more optimized than XP. It uses more RAM --- HOLD ON, which is good, cause it keeps tasks ready and allocated to the buffer for quick execution. I doubt you will see performance increase with age old XP. Just keep Aero off. XP looks gross...!

Such customization is beyond the scope of my knowledge. I may not be able to do it.your vendor is wrong - there won't be any kind of slowdown. If you are interested you can customize xp installation for your needs ie removing unnecessary and unused components, slipstreaming hot fixes and service pack, a bunch of tiny little apps of your choice etc. You can bring down the installer size as low as 190MB. I'm using such custom configured xp and this is a lot faster.
you can make xp look like vista basic with custopack
about 7 and xp, xp is handy it will give you faster speed as it doesnt have too much of hidden tasks to eat your cpu aswell as gpu and ram. plus it supports many applications (esp office ones) that are a bit older.
on the other hand, win 7 will utilize some of your hardware features better than xp but will surely be slower.
Yes, my concern is to get max performance not looks.
I think we can reduce some background tasks by disabling some services or setting them to manual. Can someone provide a link to any tutorial etc. describing the services of which can safely be disabled/set to manual?
