I loaded it onto my dad's pc. A old western 2ghz single core, 1gb ram and 20g ide hdd.

I won't say it was fast, but it ran Better then xp (Abliet a pretty old Install) - but it was very Smooth.

On top of that, my 60+ yr old parents both use it, and have no issues with the interface at all. It's great for non-pc people.

great - how does it compare to XP Pro? I cant stand Vista with all its useless messages and warnings...hopefully 7 is better.

my pc has 2gb ram and i runs fast.. it rates my machine at a 5.9, which isnt bad i think..

AKAIK, the 32bit system is fine with 2gb and you only need the 64bit if you want to make use of more than 4gb..

is that right?

Can I install the Home Premium Family pack on brand new computers only/older with previous license? I've got an older PC running a very cheap version of XP Click here to enlarge

and I'm in the process of purchasing bits and pieces for an i7 system. The third PC (the pack allows upgrading 3 systems) would be my son's netbook.
So, would be a good idea to get the pack or I need previous Windows licenses to be able to use the Family Pack?
