It installed flawlessly on my Dell Latitude D420. I am able to dual- boot into either Vista or gOS 3.0. This laptops uses a 1.2 GHz ultra- low voltage Core Duo. It takes Vista 5+ minutes to boot and to have the hard disk stop thrashing long enough for me to launch Firefox. With gOS, I am able t get to the desktop in way less than 1 minute. All the applications launch fine from the dock. Machine stays very responsive. I now use gOS 60-70% of the time and only go to Vista when I absolutely have to.
I've also had good luck installing it on a Dell Optiplex 745 desktop, where gOS boots in about 15 seconds. I also installed it to dual-boot on my wife's laptop, which is a Dell Latitude D410. It's nice to have a complete OS as a "backup" to when Windows is misbehaving.
