I have been using Windows based laptops for real time navigation on

several different operating systems, and a bunch of different GPS

while underway. BSDs are usually associated with new hardware devices
that do not yet have the correct driver installed. Once you are past
that, everything is usually very solid.

The only app that hangs on my Win7 desktop is iTunes. About 5-10% of
openings are non-responding.
