Perhaps the use of a Blu Ray Read/Write drive is needed to load Windows
7! However, with Open Office now able to handle the latest Microsoft
Office 2007 files, I see little advantage to moving away from what is
becoming an increasingly popular alternative in the form of Ubuntu
Linux.<br>

40GB for £70. I wouldn't call 40GB 'bugger all'. That should be plenty
of all the applications you need. They say Windows 7 needs 20GB.
Really? How many DVDs does it come on?<br>

I'll consider one at some point. My next planned upgrade is to get a
large LCD screen. The PC is fast enough for my non-gaming needs.<br>

BTW I upgraded my Kubuntu system to 9.10 Karmic Koala at the weekend.
No problems during the upgrade, but have picked up a strange problem.
When 3 users are logged in the 3rd gets their X session killed at
random times. Very annoying as I'm often 3rd one in when I get home and
wife+kids are already logged in. Seems perfectly stable with just 2
users.<br>
