Picked up windows 7 to run on the mac, along with VMware fusion, anyone done this yet?

 

Yea what do you want to know? Nothing really special, pretty strait forward. Amy uses parallels, i used parallels, but no longer have windoze installed at all so I don't use it anymore. IMO and from what I've read VMWare is the better of the two.

 

got it running. so far so good.. i think it needs a ram upgrade now.

 

We use VMWare, with XP, no problems yet. The only thing we've really used it for is Edna's school work that requires a certain Word format.

 

Made the jump up to 4 gb today.. Nice increase in speed, windows 7 really bogged it down with 1 gb. Now its all running pretty good.

I am using the vmware 3 with windows 7 seems to work well, I installed the 64 bit version. Now lets wait for all the windows 7 bugs to pop out..lol



Suprised the mac uses notebook sodimm memory, made for an interesting shopping trip for ram... None of the Apple retailers knew what it took for chips..



Now I have to get the wife a new notebook , her Sony Vaio bit the big one yesterday after 8 years of abuse.. Not quite sure which direction to go with that either..

 

I buy all my memory for cruicial. I'm running 4 gigs in my pro, amy has 2 gigs in her air. Apple will prolly refresh the airs at teh Jan 26th event, iMac and macbook just got a refresh so I don't think you'll see anything new there. I always buy the previous generation from MacMall, saves me a bunch and there's usually nothing so awesome that I need the latest and greatest.
