It's been a while Linux is my main operating system. I occasionally use Windows on my Asus EEE PC netbook and under Virtualbox to play poker. But today I am back under Windows with full hardware power needs.

My summer holidays in Japan are finished and I came back with a compact, ultra-lightweight, HD camcorder, a canon Ivis HF20 full of summer holiday movies. I chose Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate to edit my AVCHD videos and my computer is now pushed to its limits to make high-definition movies.

Windows hasn't changed much since I left it and the reasons I did are still there: annoying software download and installation, unreliable process management.

Anyway, that's right! This means you might soon be able to see some of my HD movies.

Canon Ivis HF20

• Full HD 1920x1080
• Recording Media: Internal Flash drive (32GB) or SDHC Memory Card
• Dimensions: 70x60x124 mm

Concerning my computer, to be honest, it's low on memory as it's an affordable barebone system.

• HD Video editing computer
• Barebone: Shuttle KPC K48
• CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 8400 (45nm, 65W, 64 architecture, SSE, Virtualization Technology...)
• Memory: 2 GB
