Windows beta update
As an update to my previous post on installing the Windows 7 Beta on the old laptop. I have to say that using as a simple web browser and other simple tasks is just fine.
The only difference between the old laptop and a newer machine is the graphics as far as I can tell. In this case I lose the glass effects and the preview pop up on task bar items. This is no big deal if you have more than one web page open rather than a preview of the page popping up you just get the text description.
I have had a few crashes but that seemed to be with the wifi card driver. That was uninstalled and then reinstalled. This looks to be resolved now.
The new RC 1 version has some other nice features. More to post.
