Re: [H] So, who all is prepped for Monday?

[Brian Weeden]

It's stripped of features and AFAIK only does winxp but is better  
integrated.


So vmware and parallels are much more robust for advanced and general  
purpose.  Virtual xp is just there to ensure compatibility with win7.


The virtual xp thing is going to come with one of the win7 versions  
for free.

Yes, it is like any other virtual appliance. In that regard.  Apps
installed in win7 do not show up in virtual xp unless you reinstall
them again.  But system devices and drives do.

Instead of dual booting, have you tried the Virtual XP option that
comes
with Win7?  It's a custom virtual PC add-on that works very well.
What's so
cool is that when you install apps in the virtual XP for all users,
they
show up in your Win7 start menu.  It's very slick.

Re: [H] So, who all is prepped for Monday?

[Greg Sevart]

I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a few extra days for W7 to be posted to 
MSDN and TechNet, given that the 13th is just the RTM sign-off day. They've 
historically outsourced the most popular downloads for MSDN and TN to Akamai, 
so there's a good chance that server availability will be acceptable.

I, for one, will install it shortly after it's posted. I've been running the 
public RC on my work machine since release, and can't wait.
