But there's [url='http://www.virtualbox.org/']VirtualBox[/url], too! (Free)

I understand what Ellusionist is trying to say, but not all end users are that ignorant. there are some folks that think, "oooh wow, vista, that's the latest and greatest it must make windows faster and easier to use!" and there are those that read specs and can tell the difference, though they're not that techie either.

If you didn't mean it as a personal attack, then you really need to think/revise next time you make a reply. Because that's how I took it. Re-read your first sentence. It's a total "you're fucking wrong dude". Don't tell me I'm wrong. I'm in the field as well.

So you fully expect every end user to know everything possible about the OS they are using? That's going to cost companies trillions in training costs you know.

About as much of a loss as it would be for an operating system to include more than just the basics so it would be able to "offer something in terms of performance enhancements to the typical office worker". :D (Examples: Office, Photoshop, etc.)

To the rest of the Non-IT-Geek world - Vista is a STEAMING PILE OF SHIT. (and it offers absolutely nothing in terms of performance enchantments to the typical office worker, hence is a complete waste of money)

I dunno if this was intentional but I think it's pretty funny.

Vista should give you a +100 speed enchantment, however all it does is give you -100 ram.

However Windows 7 is like getting a +10FPS enchant!

i got this up and running. the lappy is about half the system my pc is and its running rates equalt to what i get on the pc. and even lower fps, its still smooth. i cant wait to see how this works out on my desktop when i install it on there...

Ok, so here is the deal with windows 7 issues im having


i set up a partition under vista for 25 gigs of space and set the drive letter in vista as L:

i made the cd and shut it down installed windows 7 on the new partition and i can now load it up and look at windows 7 but when I got to my computer I only see my Dualboot drive C: and my recovery D: i do not see my main 300 gig HD that has all the vista stuff on it.

do I need to change the drive letter in vista to something other than c to have it show up in windows 7?

Figured it out i had to manually map the OS from vista while in windows 7 to the drive letter F for me to even see that part of the HD

so if anybody else has this issue just go into the admin tools>computer management>disk management and click on the big OS drive that has no current drive letter set and give it a new drive letter

theres a faster way to get the disk manager. simply right-click my computer, select manage, then disk management after the window loads. youll also have access to do somet tweakin with services and such if you know what youre doin.
