Thread: Dual boot, vista-W7RC

    I'm running the Window 7 Ultimate Rc with linux using Virtual box.
    I don't think I'll be buying the release..... it doesn't light my fire. Just another version of Vista ( a bit like win 95 to Win 98.)
    I think I'll just dual boot with XP for any apps that only run on Ms.
    just my option

    With Vista the UAC function was either on or off... in 7 there is at least some adjustment.

    Start > Run > C:\Windows\System32\UserAccountControlSettings.exe
    (Assuming you installed Windows to C drive in a directory called "Windows" )

    OR

    Run>msconfig > select the tools tab > "Change UAC Settings"

    My biggest issues with Vista previously related to it communicating with other things on our network - if often did bizarre things network wise... with 7 I have seen nothing like that at all - it seems to play far better in a larger environment than it's predecessor .
    I am using it full time at the moment and I have not yet found an application that will not run smoothly on it. (many apps I use where written for far older versions of windows as well as some very recent apps.)

    As for a cheap upgrade.... don't hold your breath, I am hearing rumors it won't be cheap.

    Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most

    I have also found window7 to run quite nicely.
    Better than vista and this running on a virtual PC running on XP so I would guess the full version will be even better and the 64bit version better again.
    I only upgrade OS when work does but from what i've seen so far its worth the swap.
