    Has anyone been able to run Windows 7 on their W3J? If so, what was involved in the install process? Do all the hotkeys on the computer still work under Windows 7?

    Check out the Owner's Lounge - http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=78589 There are quite a few posts about Windows 7 in there.

    For me, installation was a breeze. Only took me about 1 hr to get everything installed and working (clean install). All drivers were installed automatically. I haven't got the hotkeys working, although I haven't really tried too hard. You might find more info in the OL.

    Cheers.

    Make sure you install the latest bios for Vista BEFORE you install Win 7, you can see my latest posts/issues for reference.
