You can make yourself a custom Windows 7 installation that removes many of the components that you don't need. To do this, you use programs like vLite. Search for more info you'll find that it's already been done for you. This is the worst advice for installing Windows 7 that I've ever seen.

I found a lot of that is resolved by installing OR running the application in a Compatability mode from that version of the O/S. <br><br>No performance issues on this side.

The catch is the USB install for Windows 7 likes cache the 2+ gb installer file onto the hard drive. But the DVD install doesn't.<br><br>Either way the results are great. Aero interface, Bitlocker to Go. Did you download the mouse driver (Vista version) from Synaptics? You'll find there is a feature in their driver that controls "Bump" where you find the mouse jumps all over the screen from "bumping" it as you type.

The 8gb SSD is a scam , most people spend money and get an external usb drive and use it as the main drive, or mod it to use CF card instead of the stupid 8gb ssd

Loading some programs was slow due mainly to the small (and slow) SSD; it said I had about 800MB left after install so I use a 4GB SD card for games, etc.
Non-memory intensive game and programs ran well for 1/2 gig RAM!
