HP released the Windows 7 drivers for the dv2z-1100 recently. Here are the 64-bit links. I’ve noticed a little bit of a difference since I installed them last night. The biggest issue with the Vista drivers was the laptop would often fail to shut down or go to standby with a SD card in the [...]
I had to replace the MB on my laptop (the GPU imploded, taking pretty much everything with it). Afterward, it would POST and boot, but I had two issues: I had to re-enter the BitLocker key each time the computer booted or resumed from standby or hibernate, and It was no longer activated and wouldn’t [...]
I picked up the ASUS 1000HE (in black, thank you, not pink) as a secondary and vacation laptop. It’s light, it’s got a slightly faster processor, and it has a ton of storage. I’ve been running Win7 RC for about a month, though, and I’ve read that the 1000HE can run that – no problem. [...]

http://tech.yahoo.com/news/zd/20090212/tc_zd/237037 Rest assured, the next iteration of Windows is on its way, but when and how? The latest rumor making the rounds in the blogosphere is that Microsoft will provide Vista users with a free upgrade to Windows 7 when it becomes available. Yeah, right. If that happens, I’ll eat my hat.
I just upgraded to Vista Enterprise SP1, and I found that my backup PST was corrupted. Outlook told me to run ScanPST.exe, but didn’t bother telling me where it was. According to the KB article, it’s located in the Common Files directory. However, with Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise, I found it here: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 [...]
