How do you upgrade a PC with no optical drive? (via Christopher Null : Yahoo! Tech)

Netbooks remain hot, and they stand to get even hotter this fall: While Windows Vista is too bloated for most netbooks, Windows 7 has been demonstrated to run on them rather zippily.

While that's good news for those who plan to buy a new machine this holiday season, it poses a problem for those looking to upgrade netbooks they already own. That's because netbooks, virtually by definition, don't include optical drives. And the most reliable way to upgrade Windows is to pop in the Windows DVD and let Microsoft do its thing.
