Even if your PCs meet the Windows 7 minimum system requirements, there
are a variety of other issues to consider with existing software and

No DVD drive. Will have to wait to buy another one with Win 7 pre-
installed.

Beware. There is suddenly a group saying how bad it is and some of the
trade rags have expressed caution. You may have to buy a new laptop just
to run 7.
I'm on Linux with XP in a Virtual machine so it can't mess things up.
A laptop on my bike would seem a bit much and the vibration might give
it an early grave.
Just a small warning.

Strange. The huge majority of reviews and people I know who use it say
its excellent.

Yes Bill. Because people come to a cycling group to hear you espouse on
Win 7. Why google real people when we can listen to you? I mean : aren't
you the Linux king? You are surely the person to ask about Win 7.

I am only passing along what I have read. The news won't get involved, yet.

Great Jumpin' Stalin on a Bungee Cord! I just learned how to count:

(We categorically deny the existence of any number
lower than 3.1)
3.1
3.11
NT
95
NT3.5
98
NT4.0
98SE
2000
ME
XP
2003
Vista
2008
7

I'm guessing B.Ga must have gone to school in Kentucky
or Massachusetts with them kinda math skills.

Yes, you now have many choices on which M$ product you want to crash
your computer. I'm not pushing Linux since some people will never leave
M$ because they either don't know or have been brainwashed into thinking
that M$ is the same as *computer*.
I only responded to someone asking about a laptop on a bike and
mentioned that maybe an older, cheaper, and less expensive laptop might
be a good way to go. I have an old (1990's) Compaq and it takes 15
minutes to boot and is a dog after that. It will run Linux decently.
Draw your own conclusions.
My intent was that someone would not run out and put a $3,000 laptop on
his $3,000 Trek or Specialized and kill it with the road bumps that we
all hit.
