No one is more surpised than me that the laptop I ordered at 13:30 on Tuesday arrived 13:30 on Thursday.

First Impressions are good. But Dell have loaded about 20 extra software bits that I dont want so I had to de-leech the system.

I re-partitioned the 100gb drive so I can create a 20gig partition for Windows Vista, which is currently installing.

Assuming I dont have problems getting a suitable Video Driver working, Office 2007 will go on top of Windows Vista in a nice clean install.

If this all works it will be great I will be able to Demo Vista/Office2007 on the machine I carry with me everyday. Then boot into XP Pro/Office2003 for everyday use until Vista/Office 2007 reach a level of maturity (i.e. dont crash).
