736296 2009-01-10 03:52:00 I FINALLY have Windows 7 installed in a virtual PC. Looks great so far - but since there's no Aero, there's some features I can't try out. :( pcuser42 (130)

What you mean no aero? How much ram did you set aside for it?

736299 2009-01-10 05:56:00 1GB. I ran Vista in a VPC as well, and it didn't have Aero either.

Ah well, once I get a working DVD burned :annoyed:, I'll dual-boot. :D

736300 2009-01-10 06:09:00 Aero is governed by the graphic paower, not RAM, Virtual Machines dont have powerful GPU's!, so no VM of Windows 7 will show off the graphics SolMiester (139)
736301 2009-01-10 06:32:00 Aero working fine for me, I must say I am liking 7 Fast boot time and faster surfing the net, if this is only the beta and of course it is, then good things to come for RC1 radium (8645)
736302 2009-01-10 06:41:00 Must admit - Vista does seem, slow after the Beta 7 - just building a New PC for myself, the poor old work ones on its last legs ( very wobbly) and since I have a copy of Vista ultimate laying around I'm having to use it. I still need the ol XP as some of my programs wont work on Vista.

The workshop PC which is LOW on power compared to the new one feels more snappy on W7 Yet The Vista score is 5.8. :(
