Star Resurrecting Older Laptops with Alternative Operating Systems
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Wed 4th Apr 2007 18:02 UTC
Hardware, Embedded Systems Geeks.com were once more very kind to send us one of their products for a review. Geeks sells cheap laptops --among others-- and so we asked for a low-cost laptop without an operating system in it for the purpose of this review. They sent us the IBM T23, (currently selling for just $299) and an extra 256 MB stick of RAM ($30). We tested the laptop with three different OSes, read on for more.

There are a couple Windows button shortcuts you missed:

Win+E to open a Windows Explorer window
and
Win+Break to open the System properties page.

I don't know about the Win+L myself though.

I agree with someone else though that most users won't know about this.

It's not that I missed them, it's that I don't use them: I have the explorer opened at startup, so I don't need Win+E.

I don't use 'System properties' often enough to remember Win+Break.

OTOH, I use 'Win+D' quite often.
