Well I was talking to a shop assistant in a department store and he told me that. But it's good to know that he is wrong. A lot of shop assistants don't know anything about computers it seems.

Regarding screen resolution I read on the web there is either a registry edit or drivers that you can download. To make the screen resolution on netbooks higher so you can run Metro aps. I have never tried it myself,so I don't know if it works or not. I am running my Windows 7 with ordinary software I use on Windows XP and Windows 7. With no Metro apps, as I don't see the need for them.

Yes you can say that again. Most shop assistants are as thick as 2 planks. They don't seem to know anything about computers. Or it seems that way.
