So the next PC I tried was a old Acer Aspire One Netbook, this has a 1.4GHZ processor with 1GB of RAM and ran Windows XP. Unfortunately the Celeron processor runs at 800MHZ so bellow Microsoft’s recommendation and Windows 8 would not install, it pointed out that the processor was to slow and didn’t start the install. The first PCs I tried it on was my very old Samsung Q1, this was originally a XP device and I didn’t expect much from it. So having a couple of old devices doing nothing I thought I would give it a try. One of the interesting thing that Windows Division President Steven Sinofsky showed off at the Build conference was Windows 8 running on a four year old Netbook, he said Windows 8 was more efficient that Windows 7 and would run well on old hardware. I installed the Consumer Preview build and that worked just as the developer build, you still still need to set up scaling if you want to use Metro apps.
