Confusing. I'm using a W500 with Win 7 Ultimate x64 at home undocked on a home network via wireless and at work docked on a wired network. Without input from me other than initially authorizing the connections, it recognizes each network on boot, together with the default printer I've chosen on each network and the mapped drives I've set up. I don't have to choose a profile, the machine does it for me.
Also, re XP on newer machines, just get Win 7 Pro or above, and x64 system for the additional memory, and at least 4GB of memory, then run XP Mode in the virtual machine (free XP comes with Pro and above Win 7). You've got both worlds. Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 14:00:01 -0600 From: "Rob Bell" <[email protected]> I'll second that. Windows 7 is a great modern OS. I've been a power user for many, many years and I have no problems with Win7. About the only thing I can think of that is really missed from XP (for me) is hardware profiles. I used to use that to disable a laptop's wireless NIC when docked so the thing didn't try to connect wired & wireless at once. Otherwise Win7 is super.
