Yes, you can(and should) install 8.2 on last year's g1g1 XOs, there
are many software improvements.

The current XO-1 is pretty much identical to those produced last year.
There is a slight change to the packaging of the wifi chipset, but
from a software standpoint they are identical. There have also been
some improvements to the process control of the keyboard manufacturing
to eliminate the sticky keys issue. If this 2007 g1g1 XO has sticky
keys, a replacement keyboard can be purchased for $18 + shipping.


Hope this helps!
