[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 277594, member: 7"] who in there right mind would actually use it? just spent nearly all yesterday evening and tonight trying to sort out the SIL laptop with W7 it crashed with a blue screen, and local shop said it was dead, as did her cousin, it was in the wifes boot, so, me being the good BIL thought he'd take a look, booted Ubuntu live and did a system check, found loads of bad disc sectors etc, so I locked them out, told her I need to wipe it, and no worries. loaded ubuntu and it flies, 4G ram and quad core 2+ speed thingie, anyway, spent all evening trying to put W7 back on it and WTF, it is slow as hell, my 8year OLD 512ram dell inspiron 1.6 boots up and runs faster on ubuntu than this top of the range thing does on W7......! I really dont get it, I was getting so frustrated with it, why do people put up with such a laggy system? BTW, it took over 4hours to install W7 inc updates, ubuntu is <1, and taking into account I dont have a fast connection, W7 is still slow. [/QUOTE]
