The Windows 7 RC version was recently released, has anyone tried it? I haven't, because the instructions are a little too complicated to me, I'm not the best at computers :p still, if you haven't tried it, you can try it out here:

And it also comes with a brand new paint, including anti-aliasing. Lovely.

I tried to install it on my iMac, but with no success. I am already dual booting with XP, so Boot Camp refuses to help me make a new partition. Tried making a partition manually but then Boot Camp refused to recognize the Windows 7 disk. I then switched to XP and try going from there, but the new partition broke it. Had to remove the new partition to be able to load XP... I'm thinking of getting rid of the XP partition altogether, but I need to back up stuff first.

I seem to be totally un-bothered by the upcoming releases of both 7 and Snow Leopard. Will most likely stick with XP on the MacBook Pro because it works well enough for me without eating all my precious RAM, and probably upgrade to SL when they get most of the bad bugs ironed out that should have been squished during the beta stages...

I like how the first comments are from Mac users. :p

Might try this out now that I have enough spare room to try this natively, instead of a VM, and see how it performs. The last beta seemed nice anyways.

I've tried it out on a Dual Boot with Linux, and it's nothing to write home about really. There's some modifications, and it's a lot snappier and stable than Vista, but overall it's nothing very exciting.

RC has been out for a whole month lol, aren't you a bit slow Shadowmoon? I've been using it for the whole time and is is infinitely better then Vista :P

Doesn't 7 have fullscreen DOS support?

7, Vista and XP have uh, no DOS support? they use incredibly hopeless DOS VM that cries for mama when ever it is used for gaming.

I can run most DOS games without a hitch with my XP.

DOSbox is just a luxury. I can run them on their own as well.

Most DOS games work with XP: however, I've found that sound sometimes fails or the games run too fast. Also, some games just don't run at all, and that's where my DOSBox comes in handy.

the Windows VM doesn't support Soundblaster output.
