I recently accidentally purchased a HP Mini 2140^* onto which I have installed Windows 7. I’ve decided to try using it for all my primary communication; including instant messaging, Skype, email and blogging. So far its working pretty well. My only concerns at the moment are:

• Windows 7 seems convinced that I have a minimum 2 Live Messenger windows open at any point, one of which is my display picture.
• Live Writer won’t display correctly using my blog’s theme (which works fine on Vista)
• The carry case for the Mini looks rather too much like a purse.
• The doubling of home/end/page up/page down on the cursor keys will take some getting used to.

Windows 7 itself works very well. I’m one of the (apparently few) people who prefer Vista to XP (on decent hardware) and 7 is an improvement again. Very fast on what is a fairly low spec machine.
