well.....I use word and excell, not a lot, but I have all sorts of things I've used it for. Especially Word. Maybe a dual boot is better, but I'm toying with seeing if my desktop will take windows 10 - I doubt it because now and again I get my screen locking up and a message saying it is reverting to the basic windows 7 driver and resets itself. I take it that if you dual boot into windows 7 then you wouldn't be online , only if you boot into linux ? How do you switch over etc if thats the case ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NE5's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110137 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
