Good point about battery life though, as system resources are definitely managed more efficiently. @ Tom M I only just reinstalled Vista less than a month ago so really couldn’t be bothered, as other than performance, it’s not THAT much different to justify a full install for me at least.

(Yes, I took an image of the XP install before I started) So far, so good, it installed, found the WiFi card, found most of the hardware - took a couple of reboots to get the graphics drivers up, but once it's been on a few days and I've been using it in anger, I'll probably write a little piece on my own site... will be very interested to see if the battery lasts longer too...
