Ironically, Windows was giving hell to a friend's Dell Insipiron (Pentium
M class), to the point he went and bought a new one, giving me the old
one. I, too, had the same problems as he with Windows on the Dell, and
then proceeded to wipe out the OS from Redmond and install F7.
No problems.

Hi Max, was the Windows a WinXT or the new version? If WinXT I am surprised.
Whatever was installed originally - Win XP. Once the friend perked up
about this problem several people echoed having the same problem with this
generation of Dell's Inspirons.
A kid from down the street now works at Redmond and the wife called Mr. Woods
who said "under no case try to load Vista on your own computer". If you want
Vista, which he does not support to friends, you should buy a new computer
with Vista installed.
And if you got F7 loaded but not Vista that says something.
Didn't try loading Vista. Went straight for to F7. Congrats to all F7
developers, coders, users. Linux users, for that matter.
