So far I'm pretty impressed with Windows 7.  It boots much faster than XP. I
got an HP DV4 notebook, 5.5 pounds, 4gb ram, and the AMD dual-core Turion
for $500.  All I wanted was something easy to carry where I could look at my
stuff on Breezebrowser, copy cards to the HD and then to the little pocket
HD's.  It is a lot better than that, but then I want to do my editing back
home where I have controlled lighting, calibrated monitor and all that good
stuff.
