This is MS's finest and greatest product. I guess that if you like GUI, and Ribbons, and slow graphics, and a feeling of sluggishness, then this is for you.
It worked out of the box, all drivers were found, along with the latest updates. Congratulations MS. On the negative side, with two drives such as drive b is XP/Fedora dual boot, and taken as last in the bios config. Even though I changed the bios boot order to make the target drive the first and the boot drive, the Windows 7 installer managed to destroy the mbr and hence, no going back to XP or Fedora. A quick check with gparted (from live CD) indicated that both partitions were intact. A one hour install got Fedora and W7 booting. A tweak to the grub.conf file and I now have recovered XP, Fedora and will live with W7. (I need it for business). My advice to all. Unplug drives that you want to protect if you have to install Windows 7. Do not rely on removing the drive via the bios. W7 really doesn't care about the bios. Another thing. Although W7 on disk is about 20 gigs, it would not install with a 100gig partition. (Said partition was too small). I gave it a whole drive and now, with Gparted, I will shrink the W7 partition to allow me to install UBUNTU. Sigh, we just can't trust MS programmers. ------------------ Regards Leslie Mr. Leslie Satenstein mailto:[email protected] mailto [email protected] www.itbms.biz
