I installed it as if it were Windows Server 2008, and it worked like a charm. One thing that happens is that it only works in full screen. I will post a picture later with my mac to show you.
I must say its a lot lighter than Vista... took about 20 minutes to install. |

I'm a bit excited over Windows 7 after reading about how they're changing how services are handled. I also like what I saw in the videos regarding the Windows 1.x dock. It's what Vista should have been in the first place. |

Yes, but debatably Windows Vista was a necessary step in the right direction that needed to take place in order to make Windows 7 possible. Windows Vista has a lot of under-the-hood structural changes when compared with previous Windows versions, and we are just starting to see what real benefits those changes provide in Windows 7.
All IMHO (as a Mac user who looks forward to dual-booting with Windows 7 and Snow Leopard.  )

It is better than Vista, but the Windows 7 "dock", which is one of the biggest features, really doesn't do it for me. I completely dislike how things are handled. Its hard to explain, but there's no way of knowing if a program is open or not without mousing-over it in the dock. Also, there are so many different commands. The only way to open a new window if you have a new window already open is to right click on the icon in the dock. Its very confusing.
I know its in it's early stages, but it needs work before it can be usable. |

When the F did this turn into the "All Things Windows" forum?
One dude asks for help with getting into school and gets bounced, but this stuff still flies 'round here.
Amazing. |

The Macintosh platform owes a lot of it's recent increases in market share (for better or worse) to its ability to run Windows in a virtual environment. It's very appropriate to post this in ATM.

How can I get a copy of Win 7 Beta?
Microsoft should be releasing a public beta of Windows 7 in mid-January.
People who already have a copy of Windows 7 pre-beta likely obtained it through methods we cannot discuss here per forum policies. Is that enough of a hint?

Just saddened to see what happened to a once-great forum.
Where did all of the Mac experts go? Nobody's left ... |
