              Tony, Yvonne has just told me that, if someone sends her anything at work on Window's 7, she can't open it, she's on XP.

                  Every Windows i have had i use classic menu's etc, easier to use & a lot faster. The start menu has everything in, my computer on the desktop etc. You could use the same settings in every version of Windows until now. There is a tweak to do it but don't touch it.

                  I did computer work for a living & will again when i move to Canada but i have not once recommended Windows 7 to anybody. It lasted 2 hours on my machine, it is supposed to be a "fixed" Vista but it isn't as user friendly as Vista & as for speed, boots up a little quicker & thats about it.

                    Jim, tell Yvonne to go to Microsoft website and download a file coverter pack. This will open files between Xp, Vista and 7. Its a free download.

                      I tell ya man, ubuntu.

                      if you really can't shake off the windows addiction install em both

                      you can run Ubuntu inside windows or alongside windows

                      if you want a netbook for doing 'internet' stuff Ubuntu will do everything you want to do, its linux, its many times faster, with zero viruses & zero spyware, looks and feels right, is intuitive enough that anyone thats never used any flavour of 'nix at all can turn it one and be doing stuff instantly

                          Let me know how you get on with 7, Tony, as I am thinking of switching over from Vista.

                            Seems OK...I'm now working off one of these at home

                            dot sr UK/024 | Packard Bell

                            it's Windows 7 Starter so I don't know if there's a marked difference between that and the full package - I'm sure someone better qualified than me can comment

                              Starter edition is basically a lite version with limitations. Depending on what you use it for a lot of people will find it good, where others like myself don't. For mainly surfing the net it will be perfect for you.

                              versions are: (ultimate being the best)

                              starter
                              home
                              professional
                              ultimate
