I've got a Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit from MSDN Subscriber Downloads.

The downloaded ISO boots fine from both a USB pen drive and a DVD on other computers. On the Acer it doesn't boot.

The Acer iDea 500 can boot, and install, Windows XP Mediacenter from a DVD with slipstreamed SATA drives on it.

Also, all kinds of Linux distros works perfectly fine on the iDea 500. I wouldn't mind using Mythbuntu instead of Windows 7 Ultimate, but it doesn't work very well.
