[pianotech] Beware of NetBooks and VISTA laptops

[Duaine & Laura Hechler]

NetBooks originally came with Linux.

In order for MS to compete, they decided to come out with a "entry
level" Windows 7 (VISTA's follow-on). Which sounded good from the start

HOWEVER

in order to make it work, MS crippled the OS enough to allow - ONLY - 3
- programs to run at the same time.

-------------

This may be a little late for some of you - but -

If you have a laptop with VISTA on it - you may be locked into VISTA ONLY.

One of my son's friends has a VISTA laptop and the hard drive crashed
(from viruses). From all the horror stories, he really wanted to go back
to XP. So my son tried to load XP - could not get it to even start to
load. They called to manufacturer (HP ? ) and found out, OH!, that model
laptop was designed for VISTA and VISTA ONLY.
