I'm in the "Windows bigot" camp; they're not for me. (Some of my friends are Mac users.)
As Mr. Alling stated earlier, RAM is maxed and Windows 7 is going to use most of that RAM. IIRC, it needs about 1.5GB to run. Since it's a business configuration, the graphics memory will be an integrated chip which will rely on system RAM, too. Another consideration is that not all of that 4GB will be available in a 32-bit system. Functional, but it could teach you to swear if you try to exceeds its limits.
