I'm dual booting with Vista.  

 

Vista did a create job of setting up a dual boot system for XP and Vista in
the past, I'm sure Win7 will too.

Has anyone tried a dual boot with XP? I do not have a test machine do a new
install.

VM'd a 64-bit one with VMWare Workstation on Friday from an ISO, took 18
minutes from ISO boot to desktop on a modern hardware w/ 8GB RAM.

 

"Vista R2" is a good way to describe initial impressions.

Been running smoothly here. Have it both on a test desktop, and threw it on
my laptop. Both have been running smoothly for now. IE8 is too buggy for me,
installed FireFox. Office 2007 works with no problems. So far, I have not
come across any software that I use normally that does not run in Windows 7.
Much quicker boot time than XP/Vista on the same machine. Getting in the
lower teens for boot time on the desktop, low 20's on the laptop.

 

So. so far, so good.

We've had builds for about 4 months via TAP. Been running it on my main
machine for several weeks now.

 

The icon grouping thing takes a while getting used to (some ways it's
faster, but if you had pet ways of using the older-style taskbar, some
things are slower). Explorer doesn't lose folder column preferences anymore
(thank goodness). IE8 has a bunch of bugs (and the IE task bar icon randomly
doesn't display some tabs, which is really annoying). The positioning of the
"show desktop" in the bottom right corner is great (you can drag your mouse
there) unless you have a second monitor that extends your desktop to the
right. Dunno if it's my chipset drivers but I have a heap of problems with
USB power after a random number of sleep/resume cycles. 

 

Cheers

Ken

I loaded win7 in a vm the other day (I got my hands on it on Wed), and it
took everything I pretty much *needed*. Quickbooks 9, Office 2007 etc etc.

 

Sooo yesterday I dropped a new drive in and loaded it directly on my box
(quad 9950, Geforce 9600, 3gb ram, 2x22' dvi screens, asus onboard
audio/nic)

 

System came right up, Nvidia already has a driver in Windows Update, MSN,
Office, Quicbooks, Rocketdock, City of Heroes all work as expected.

 

A few apps aren't running right (I am on the 64bit where my vista was 32bit)
- CutePDF, MagicDisc, MountISO (all 'driver' related stuff) doesn't seem to
load correctly.

 

IMGBurn works, haven't tried Nero 9 yet, but will look at that today.

 

I don't know about faster/slower/benchmarks, however, I think the added
desktop stuff while may take a little bit to get used to  (grouping icons,
disappearing windows when you select stuff in toolbar) seems much more
efficient. The 'changing' desktop is pretty nice too.

 

The UAC has a gradiant scale. IE8 seems pretty good, the new 'private'
version of the browser looks promising. The 'home' sharing setup with the
keycodes is pretty neat, but I haven't tried it yet. 

 

I would have to say overall, Im pretty impressed with the 'beta' so far. 

 

So for today, I am going to stick with it as my primary computer at the
house and see how stable it remains. Just curious what other people like
about it too.
