Windows 7 on netbooks? No problem, says Microsoft.

"Looking forward, we can confidently say that no matter how netbook PC hardware evolves, we're gearing up to ensure that Windows 7 will run great on them," Brandon LeBlanc, a Windows communication manager, wrote in Friday blog post.

"We've been testing Windows 7 on netbook PCs since before Windows 7 was feature complete, and our plan is to enable these small notebook PCs to run any edition of Windows 7," he wrote.

A beta version of Windows 7 was released in January.
