Unlikely if you have a lot of RAM. I have had very good luck with Windows 7 to date. Being a Linux nerd it's hard for me to say that this is in all honesty the first version of Windows that I would consider paying money for.

Windows in general, works best with lots of RAM. This laptop can have up to 2 GB installed. I would upgrade to that if it's not already at that level.

Beyond that the only issue I can see if the learning curve for getting adjusted to the new interface. The laptop should run just fine.
