    I miss how I could customize my XP to its limit.

    In some cases it had the same features as Vista and more.

    it's all corporate propaganda. ;) The bluetooth is built-in to the rig. Uhhh..unless AW is buying a different base rig than any other reseller. Somehow, I doubt that. Anyhow, hope it ships soon! :D

    Have you installed W7 instead of Vista?

    Do you recomend this? Or would you say it's not a good idear to install W7 (Beta) instead of Vista?
    Do you suggest me to have both?
    The problem is ... I only have 160gb (-AlienRespawn) ...

    I'll recive my new m17 soon and ...

    I am so impressed of the power-improfements of W7 :cool:

    @ my Desktop W7 is a real boos ... my m17 will replace my "gamingdesktop" so I want to do everything (without loosing varenty) wich makes my m17 faster :eek:

    i think the WEI score for the HDD in Win7 is geared towards SSDs...

    Retest again got my hd higher. It's probably due to chipset drivers.
