Well I just installed Windows 7 on the old laptop.
So far it is pretty snazzy. Like it better than Vista.
Somehow it is able to see more wireless access points than my XP install does?
How do they do that?
Creating a dual boot was super painless. I didnt even have to format the partition I chose. I will be bombarding it with applications this week to see what breaks it.
On the downside it hates my laptops video. Intel GMA945 or whatevs. I get a 2.0 score. Which on the win 7 experience rating means my overallscore with a core 2 duo, 2 gigs of ram and a 7200 rpm 200gb drive is a...2.0.
Weak with a side of weak sauce!
I will try turning off a bunch of stuff to see if it makes a difference. but so far Win 7 is faster than vista given the same hardware. Even with all the candy turned on it runs okay.
