It\'s is possible that the information within this article is now out of date or updated.

I installed this weekend W7 RC. A clean install in my 15 Gb test partition and ending with around 5 Gb free. In 2 hours I was answering emails and working. Even when Fujitsu has not released any drivers for W7 for the P1610 series, more or less I have everything working (the screen does not rotate automatically when I rotate the display to tablet mode).

I’m really happy with this release. It seems strong, well made. It seems a product ready to hit the market so I would not be surprised if I see it released in this Summer.

    I'm looking forward to trying it out as well, but I should mention that I installed the latest Ubuntu last night in a VM on my Mac and I was installed and working in Firefox and Evolution (Mail, PIM stuff) in less than 45 minutes (and that included installing the VM tools to add features like mouse sharing, etc.), and it took less than 3 GB to install.

    I'm still not sure that Ubuntu is ready for typical, non-technical users, but it's getting closer all of the time.
