Wish me luck..Going to try an install Windows 7 this weekend

[Jay J]

Will be installing windows 7 this weekend on my windows partition or at least I will try and possibly attempt to dual boot it? on that?

 

[LastZion]

good luck my friend, let us know how it works out

Well given its a in pre Beta version, you will probably find issues.

Though it looks very promising, I cannot wait to have a go with a beta version

Works just fine under Fusion 2. No problems at all, even in pre-beta

Enjoy. It is surprisingly mature for an early beta. Obviously, this is because there are very few changes from Vista (NT6) to Win7 (NT6.1)--much of the code base has already been finalized. However, Windows 7 clearly possesses some significant under-the-hood kernel-level optimization: it feels lighter than Vista and has a tighter memory footprint.

Windows 7 has been in development for some time though, so not surprised the latest beta appears to work well.

I've been running it native for a while now on my penryn MBP. It works great. All vista drivers works on it.

 

[klooney]

i've been thinking about it but haven't taken the plunge yet. Maybe this weekend also!

Any Vista supporting apps/drivers/etc will work fine with W7 in it's current form.

W7 is Vista but tweaked for better operation, like what Snow Leopard will be compared to Leopard.

This may sound dumb, but where do you get Windows 7?

Not dumb at all, I am wondering this myself

 

[agentphish]

Didn't work so well for me in Fusion2.0
Would like to hear what you did.

Most likely a torrent download

Most likely a torrent download

That is my guess as well. I highly doubt that Microsoft has it available for download on their website.

could you give us some install steps ?

I'm looking to upgrade my XP sp2 because in parallels for some reason it won't think it's genuine, so trying something new would be great

Is the install big in size?
