Netbooks and WHS Happier Together w/Update
May 27th, 2009
Trying to access the WHS console with my ASUS Eee 1000HEB PC had been an adventure up until today’s update for WHS. Most 10 inch Netbooks have a 1024 x 600 screen resolution, and prior to this update, viewing the entire WHS console was problematic.
Windows Update should offer this patch for your WHS, or you can update manually.

Started with a ASUS 1000HEB EeePC (Best Buy sells this, got it on sale for $299). Upgraded to 2 GB RAM, swapped out the hard drive for a 7200RPM 320GB Momentus drive and installed W7 clean. All the drivers were either inbox or on the ASUS site. Max Volar tuner driver was on WU.
They say a picture is worth 10,000 words. So I’m saving 20K words with two pictures.
Bottom line: My EeePC (1000HEB) is running W7, and plugging in my MaxVolar Hybrid USB tuner yields just what I expected. Awesome..
The screen on the Netbook is actually quite good. Not sure what this will do to battery life
