If you do want to play with Win7 and have a heap of RAM in your PC, try installing it in a VM. Get VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) and install it in that. Runs ok and gives you a chance to check it out. |

| 746933 | 2009-02-13 02:06:00 | I've been meaning to try a VM setup for ages and now you have prodded me into doing it! Hey, this is great fun. Win7 is now running fine in a VM. Great for testing stuff, of course, so I will likely add other images as well. Thanks - I am glad I got my A into gear! |

| 746936 | 2009-02-13 19:00:00 | Any OS that requires more than 10Gb must be loaded with a lot of sh|t And according to what I have read, if the specs are good enough for Vista, they are good enough for Win7 My instalation of 7/64 says it is 22gigs |
