==========================================
Test Result:
83/53=1.57
Windows 7 is 150% faster than Antix 23.1

AbiWord 2.9 on Win 7 is faster, since it's lightweight.
==========================================
Dual boot MBR:
26GB - Win7
10GB - Antix
40GB - Fat32 (Shared Data Partition)

You probably want to install Windows 7 first. The order matters, but the other way around works fine.

Antix mini impression: It took their very knowledge person 2+ hour to lightly configure the OS. That is enough a reason to call it trash. A lot of text-based config files and a lot of incoherent menus/options. Antix also has a permission issue. Can't access local hard drive normally. 20 minutes for me to configure windows 7 perfectly.

Can a 2007 Laptop Still Be Usable in 2025? A Real-Time Dual-Boot Test!

In this video, we're taking a trip down memory lane with a vintage laptop from 2007, equipped with an Intel Core Duo U7600 and 2GB of RAM. While it's a snail by today's standards, this machine still has some life left!

I'll be demonstrating its current usability with a real-time dual-boot test, booting into two different operating systems and opening a text editor to gauge general performance. We'll see just how practical this antique computer can be for basic tasks like retro writing or even 1080p video playback.

Video Breakdown:
00:00 - Introduction & Laptop Specs
00:15- Windows Boot & Speed Test
02:22 - Linux Boot & Speed Test
05:30 - General Usability & Final Thoughts

Laptop Specifications:
Model: Vintage 2007 Laptop
CPU: Intel Core Duo U7600 (1.2 GHz)
RAM: 2 GB DDR2
Storage: 80 GB 1.8" HDD

While I've tested several Linux distros for old hardware, I share my frank opinion on their user-friendliness (or lack thereof) for the average person and why, despite its challenges, the distro shown was chosen.

Do you have an old laptop sitting in a closet? This might just inspire you to fire it up again!
