I have been using Win 7 (evaluation version) since mid-year and have found it excellent. But it is expensive to buy, especially in Australia. I have also installed Ubuntu Linux on this computer and it works well once the initial setting up problems are resolved and has the advantage of being free. Generally I have been most happy with Firefox as a web browser, having tried several of them.
I apologise for this post not being directly about soaring, but then we all use computers one way or another and many of us use them in support of our gliding efforts.

It's quite a useful laptop now I have heard that Windows 7 is OK too, even in the Mac camp. However I have heard that Firefox current versions is not so good... not as good as Safari at the moment anyway. For web standards development, the Safari is (IMHO) the standout leader. Much faster and less obtrusive than FF (on a Mac anyway). However... W7 won't change the "design" of most Windows boxes though!
