First Look At Windows 7 On an Entry-Level Netbook

Posted by kdawson on from the could-be-worse dept.

davidmwilliams sends in his IT Wire review of how Windows 7RC1 performs on an Acer Aspire One netbook. Summing up: it runs, it won't win any speed competitions, you won't want to play Crysis on it, and it's pretty OK for light-duty, everyday tasks. In related news, several readers have noted that Windows 7 RC1 is now available; one anonymous reader notes "This time, Microsoft was smart not to limit the time that it's available or the number of keys. It will be up for download until July, so there's lots of time to grab a copy."

    Speaking of Visio diagrams... this is a serious question for the ones how actually use it... does it still hog the registry hive with a myriad of keys making the system notably slower?

    I haven't used Visio since I got introduced to graphviz. Dia works for the fringe cases that graphviz doesn't so really... what does Visio have that is so "needed" ?
