Well this afternoon I am spending downloading and installing drivers for my DELL laptop because I have just installed 64 bit windows 7 (it came with 32 bit).

I am having to do the downloading on my desktop, because on my laptop nothing works, neither wifi nor ethernet.

This came as a bit of a shock to me because I installed ubuntu on it previously and everything worked straight away, including my bluetooth card (didn't test that, but it showed up so I assumed). Whereas windows 7 is completely useless.

And I am going to have a problem coming up with signed drivers for my wifi card in windows 7.

So, basically, well done ubuntu :)
 
What's the story with sleep? My laptop doesn't have a sleep option despite my having installed the chipset drivers... uh oh...
