I agree Linux is a better OS. However, you can run linux mint from the install media without install, AND it's probably still faster than windows.

Indeed. We had a conversation on the forum previously about the need for Unix\Linux fans to continually snipe at Windows.
I still don't understand why some of you do it. Live and let live and all that.
PS - I have been using Windows (and other OS' too) in it's many variants since 1994. Take a guess at how many viruses and other types of malware I have had during that time.

Even the (then) most decent laptop or pc you can afford means that 4 or 5 years later after hundreds of lovely Windows updates will slow your system to a crawl.
Guess what the only viable solution is?

Fortunately my 4 year old quad core seems to be ok with Windows 7, although boot up when new used to be 30 seconds & now it's triple that until you can run any programs.
