The Wife’s desktop has been flaky for awhile now. I’ve suspected there was only one real resolution to the problem. I didn’t want to go there, but there’si been no selling the Wife on alternative solutions. So we purchased Windows 7 this weekend to install on her laptop and desktop.<\/p>\n

The install itself was painless enough. After telling it the language, the only other info requested was a username, password and computer name. I was even able to install all of the updates after the initial installation completed, as well as Thunderbird for email.<\/p>\n
