Windows 7 shows promise
Aug 16th
Installed Windows 7 today on my spare laptop. For an original hardware specs which was not meant (or advised) to run Windows Vista, it is amusing to know that it runs Windows 7 smoothly, with a good performance (ie comparable to the old XP that it had). Installation was a breeze compared to what I usually experience with Windows XP or Linux distros. The look and feel is great. Sleek and simple. Looks like M$ got the clue this time. Even for an RC, it’s far superior to Vista. Just hoping that I’ll get a free upgrade from Lenovo (my ThinkPad) and Acer (my desktop).
The Think Red Dot

Aside from the legendary ThinkPad quality, IBM or Lenovo alike, the TrackPoint is the other thing that keeps me glued to ThinkPad. Not unless other laptops have a trackpoint, I won’t probably switch sides. My ThinkPads were indeed ugly but exudes elegance and computing power. In my belief, the TrackPoint is more usable and accurate over trackpads.
