One of the best things about having more than a few notebooks and PCs at home is that one of the machines get designated as the throwaway toy and you can really try all sorts of stuff on it. And if it breaks, you don’t lose anything apart from having to spend a bit more time again doing another low-level format of the thing.
So, since getting the MSI Wind, the little netbook’s designated guinea pig for all sorts of stuff for me to try on since I don’t dare risk my desktop PC, the gaming notebook and certainly not the IBM Thinkpad at work. Like Ubuntu, the open-source Linux-based OS I was trying out a few weeks ago on it, and now Windows 7 Beta. I installed the latter onto the Wind yesterday evening and it worked right ‘out of the box’ needing only a further driver installation for the wireless network card. In fact, this post is written by this nifty program called ‘Writer’ from Windows Live Essentials.
The two of us were stoning at the Mcdonald’s Forum outlet along Orchard Road after the 7:30 am service… waiting for Yotei to open just so we can have make use of a $30 lunch voucher.:)
