I believe this is correct.

To add to the Driver Station talk, for the first year we had an '09 Classmate that over time became more and more faulty, and is currently stuck in a rebooting loop. This may have been to due to a lack of SSD space, as numerous programs were loaded, including LabVIEW.
The replacement we used, a small Asus netbook, also succumbed to technical issues (I believe they were related to GRUB and dual-booting Ubuntu alongside Windows 7) somewhat quicker.
The next laptop we used, for all of the World Championship, was my own personal Acer. I'm running Win7 HP 64-bit, with only two user accounts - my personal one and 'Driver'. There were no problems whatsoever.
The only time we had major latency issues on the field was during an early match at Kettering in Week 1. However, this appeared to be due to our custom Dashboard on the DS sending ~50 packets a second to the cRIO. Once this code was removed, then there were no latency issues that I know of.
