Windows 7: Three steps back...

...since my new Laptop has "freezed" three times during the last couple of weeks. Hardware reset has been the only option since the screen has became black and the activity handler does not respond within 10 minutes (which is so long my patience holds in these situations)...

No traces whatsoever what could be the cause in the log files...Dell hardware, Windows7 or a combination?

Windows 7: One step forward...

...to faster start-up time (compared to XP)

I recently switched laptop to a Dell with Windows7 onboard. So far I think it works pretty well...I really like the preview open documents functionality and the activity bar improvments which is a small productivity booster for those of us that works with many open windows.

Although it was a bit sad to retire my old IBM T43...the most reliable and robust PC I have ever had (so far...)
