Ed "The Computer Wizard"

Like thousands upon thousands of others, I have registered for the Windows 7 Beta Program.  I have my key and I downloaded the ISO, and now I have to decide where to try this out.  I have an old Dell desktop that wouldn’t run Vista, but I don’t feel like scrounging the parts to put that back together.

I have a nice laptop running Windows XP Media Center.  I bet Windows 7 would look great there!  Nah, it’s a big ‘ole 17" widescreen job that’s to much of a pain to lug around.

I could test in a VM, but there is always the video issue with VMWare.

I think I’ll use my NetBook.  Why not, the Hackintosh project is on hold until I get the memory issue resolved.  (Those jerks won’t even reply to me anymore).  So, tonight I will start the process of backing up and preparing my Netbook for the Windows 7 experience.  I will give periodic updates on my impressions and if anyone wants me to test something specific, just let me know.  You can also follow me on twitter for random notes about this and other projects: www.twitter.com/EdNetman

Step one; I’ll grab an image of my hard drive.  Pictures of the setup to follow soon, so keep and eye out!  Go ahead, subscribe to the feed.
