Just converted a Dell 1545 from Vista x32 to LL 2.4 x32. Awesome result. Everything went smoothly. I had to install the Broadcom driver, everything else was stock. Added Wine and a few other progs. The owner is absolutely thrilled with the speed and stability - neither of which Vista had any acquaintance with.
I had struggled to make Vista work, but finally gave up. Not a bad OS, but MS abandoned it a long time ago and went on to "greener" pastures, leaving the field tech to try to clean up its messes.
I also decided I won't be upgrading my own tower to Win10, since I don't want to cede control of my computer to MS' mandatory automatic updates. I'll stick with 7 for the time being, but if it comes to it, I would have no compunction against converting to LL.
