Everything runs really smooth and I am impressed how much lighter Windows 7 are from Vista. I really like this OS and I will stick with it in my netbook for while.

I have an Advent 4211 which is the british version of the MSI Wind U100. The only thing that I have added to this machine is an extra Gigabyte of RAM. People over at www.msiwind.net, on the forums mainly, are saying that it runs Windows 7 really good so i will try it my self.

Here is pic from the backup proccess:

It’s intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).

Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is as simple as moving the mouse off the edge of your screen. Synergy also merges the clipboards of all the systems into one, allowing cut-and-paste between systems. Furthermore, it synchronizes screen savers so they all start and stop together and, if screen locking is enabled, only one screen requires a password to unlock them all.
