    As long as the CF-30 has driver for 7 I'd personally go with 7 and put it on an SSD.

    You should me ok to upgrade to W7. The MK1 (C/D) needed the bios update. The MK2/3 did not.

    Hey swan what’s up?
    Have you got 7 installed yet? If so great! You’ve got yourself a nice unit for messing with Pentium M software and VMs
