for a host of reasons watso gave up on windows ages ago. sure, if you like windows keep it - so why not partition your hard drive, and keep windows, and maybe experiment with a linux system. at the very least, put in a linux "swap" partition on the drive. for most web use, watso uses a small puppy linux sstem, which runs in ram, and loads incredibly quickly. a system that runs in ram, loses everything when the computer is switced of, so that there are no nasties getting into the system
