Hello,
Printer: No problems, it is a network printer, i.e. connected to another machine, but it works fine, HP 1220C so quite old, no drivers from HP.. jus the Windows inbuilt ones.
To be honest Windows 7 feels much the same as Vista, a few changes to the look and feel. Speed is about the same as my Vista machine, but my Vista machine as a Beta of SP2 on it, and this made quite a difference to Vista's speed!
