| 1130763 | 2010-08-22 23:32:00 | I have just purchased a 7 inch Laptop for my wife. Did not realise it is running Windows CE 6. Is it possible to run Xp instead also are there any software programs for this system. I wanted to run Skype as wll but this does not seem possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated | waituke (5406) | ||

| 1130768 | 2010-08-24 02:24:00 | Which brand is not Chinese made?:D Well yes - good point - what I meant was a non-brand name dealextreme.com sort of cheapie. |

| 1130769 | 2010-08-24 06:22:00 | When they are that size you call them a netbook. If you don't like CE you may get one of the Android versions to run on it. Find out the make & model number. Then look up the appropriate forum on the net. Chances are someone will have done it & the firmware/OS will probably be available there. If you are not keen on doing all that, just leave it as is. |
