AI Thread Summary
Upgrading to a PC or notebook with a 65nm Dual Core 64-bit processor is advisable if the upgrade is not urgent, as it offers significant improvements for running Windows Vista.

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term.

Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
