Running U3 Programs in Windows 7 Beta

Bought a Sandisk Micro U3 2GB flash drive which comes with U3 launchpad version 1.6.1.1. This works in Windows 7 Beta.

Avast! Antivirus U3 Edition (2 months trial) and McAfee VirusScan USB (30 days trial) work in Windows 7 Beta.

The only issue is that both programs conflict with internet connection using 3G which caused the signal to "disappear". But, internet connection using wireless is fine.

Installing Windows 7 Beta on Lenovo Z61t

The Windows Experience Index is 3.2 on Lenovo Z61t. The only score which is lower than Lenovo IdeaPad S10 is the primary hard disk since it is running at 4200rpm in Z61t as compared to 5400rpm in S10.

But, I'm surprised by the differences in the scores for the graphics and gaming graphics since both have the same graphics chipset and same amount of video memory.

Installing Windows 7 Beta on Acer Aspire One

You can install Windows 7 Beta on Acer Aspire One A0A110 with 8GB SSD. There is no need to vlite Windows 7 and you can ignore the warning that the recommended free space for installation is 8279MB. After installation, the free disk space left is 990MB.

As shown, the Windows Experience Index is only 2.0 due to the slow MLC SSD and graphics. The only score which is higher than Lenovo IdeaPad S10 is the memory even though both have 1GB RAM.
