Does it thrash the hard drive like Vista does? Seems to me that alone would be enough to finish off an old battery that had only known XP. I’ve not tried Win7 yet.

As it is the machine seems a bit to crippled compared to a netbook at about the same price point on the low end. For what the higher end version costs you can get a good laptop. If you are looking at price versus performance this thing doesn't come off at all well. Not my problem.

This means that you can program a cluster like it is a single system with no message queuing between processors. It's really useful for computationally intense modeling.
