Maybe as SSD tec improves they will find a way to make the mem cells last longer, so for now the extra £250 you pay for a ssd only buys a bit more speed, i think the high-end sata drives with larger caches are fast enough for most people.

Well I think that's what is happening right now. Problem is that because of the longer lifetime, they now make cells with three bits per unit. And we are back again with the lifetime.

Is windows 7 worth it? I'm quite content with xp at least for now. Surely there's more to it than windows snapping by dragging them to the sides? |

Yes, I would try it. Speed, if you have more than 2gb of ram in XP you wont see the difference, but if you take you 2gb RAM over into windows 7 thats when you will get the most out of it

If you did that in England you'd be shot (well you know what I mean, they should bring back the death penalty but thats another thread  )

I'm experiencing something that started like a month ago right after I downloaded some updates. The issue is that when I'm viewing images, with the windows image viewer(or whatever it's called in english), the image along with the background is a bit orange-ish. Here's a sample:

XP is too old, I recommend to use Firefox (much better than IE8).
