Your talking about windows, right Some friends recently got them selves the B series laptops - another friend helped to make sure the onboard windows was fully loaded. He said that it took him the better part of a day doing that and this was after lenovo had a page deidicted to getting all the additional drivers for the machine. None of this involved installaing any productivity software (none was installed) . So yes some audio , video drivers are needed additionally , for some machines. I have not looked at a new windows install recently but from this experience its safe to say that one needs to spend time, lots of time to get a windows machine into a state a linux machine comes with its default installation. ** Two days back i installed Linux Mint on an atom desktop - it was fully functional within an hour (from PCDOS to Linux Mint 9) - it took another 1 hour on a broadban connection to get updated. The only additional software i installed was skype. Everything worked - no drivers, no conductors no ticket collectors additionally required. ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
