My notebook (Dell M1330) had been acting up. I basically took the easy way out and blame Windows Vista. It could be the case or not. It could be the hard drive. But in any case, I’d have to rebuilt it. So blaming Windows means I don’t have to go buy another hard drive… for now.

After a good couple of weeks of use, the combination of this Mini 9, Windows 7, and IE 8 has given me a good gauge of what to look forward to. Granted Windows 7 is still in beta and is likely go through more changes in the coming months, the positive experience is leading me [...]
