W7 Ultimate x64 on the desktop and W7 Ultimate x86 on the lappie, cos the poor little chip can only process 32bit info.... Maybe ketchup would help - you know, grease those 64bit chunks up so they could pass through more easily?

Can't really be running anything else as my lady and nipper don't know anything other than windows. The shift from XP to W7 terrified them enough, I can't traumatise them any more with a command line interface.

Besides. I love W7. It's preeeeeeetty.....
