I installed Natty on an Eeepc netbook this morning for one of the 
engineers at work. The Eee had Windows on the HD. The installer shrunk 
the NTFS partition to half the disk and installed Natty on the other 
half. Both Windows and Linux work as expected. The Linux environment 
correctly configured the wireless, audio, and the built-in webcam.

The default destop feels like the old netbook-spin desktop. It's not 
really my favorite, but it's pretty attractive and its operation is 
easy enough to grok.
