Windows 7 netbooks now available from Amazon

With the launch of Windows 7 a mere three days away (although the actual delivery might take a while longer, thanks to the imminent postal strikes in the UK), a bevy of netbooks is now on sale with Microsoft's newest operating system.

Amazon has a whole section of its site dedicated to new Windows 7 netbooks and there are 28 variations available for pre-order at the moment, from Acer, ASUS, HP, Samsung and Toshiba. Interestingly, Amazon doesn’t appear to be offering any discounts on these models and all are listed for pre-order at the RRP price.

Full details after the cut.
