Windows 7

just had some pain after uninstalling Norton on Windows 7...blue screen of death...a real pain..think its more to do with the Wireless Network Adaptor but not sure why this has reared its ugly head now. First impressions of Norton not good Im afraid :-|

FTFY

I wouldn't let norton (or any of the big AV products) anywhere near my laptop. They tend to hinder more than help

Installed Win 7 on an old Dell Latitude laptop (Pentium M 1.6GHz/2Gb RAM/37Gb HDD) and it is now 'flying'.

Significantly faster than Vista that was on there and scarily faster than my main laptop which I bought at the beginning of the year.

Really impressed with WIn 7's speed and stability so far.

Just need to troubleshoot what is slowing down my main laptop - hidden Samsung utilities no doubt.

Can't say I enjoy installing operating systems. However, I did make a little jotter out of an old fire alarm yesterday. Really proud of that.

I had a brief bash with Windows 7 yesterday. I don't know how old the PC concerned was, but it seemed very sluggish to me. I don't think much of that rotating ring thingy in place of the good old fashioned egg timer.

I've just replaced OSX on my hackintosh with Win 7. Got a bit sick of updates to osx borking it.

Seeing as I mostly surf the web on it, it doesn't really matter what os it has. It's going ok so far.

That was always going to be the case with hackintosh.

Yup, in this instance, the benefits of OSX didn't outweigh the annoyance factor. Was worth it as an exercise though.
